the problem with state quarters
Here's the problem with the state quarters. The problem is that money — especially in the US — is a fairly permanent thing. It just doesn't change that much. That's why we're all sort of upset about those new 20 dollar bills looking so dang European.
So, if you travel at all, and somehow have some foreign change lying around, then it's easy to pick out the American money — you don't even think about it — except that the state quarters get in the way. Is that a quarter? Is it some Chinese / Japanese / Thai coin we must've picked up along the way? What is it? Give us our quarters back.
Plus, there's the main thing wrong with them: Home of James Piddle! Land of 23 Sunflower Varieties! The Gooseberry State! Granfalooning, all of it.
