Excellent!

I would just like to say thank you very much to everyone who came forward with their cash. It's acts of kindness like this that keeps me coming back to Pets. Well, that and being able to spout off and show off pics of my babies.
Hazel - you are terrific!!!!! Not only are you helping me finish off a collection you are helping growler as well!! Can't ask for more than that!! If I find any of the territories I will let you know. Melinda - I thank you as well. I truly appreciate it. The folks on Pets are the bestest.

The only US territories I have were USVI and um...dang, I think there was another one...Puerto Rico, maybe? I kept one of each. The other USVI is in 14+'s set. But I'd stopped looking through my spare change for a while, so they might have been crossing my palm without me knowing it. I didn't know there was a DC one, too?

Otherwise, unless growler and 14+ are looking for both a complete D and a complete P, they'll have all the States they're missing as soon as I can get to the post office.

Nah Melinda. I made the offer but hazel turned me down. Seems they don't like our money down there. j/k!!
If you check the website I posted at the very bottom of the coin set it shows the territories. I also did not know they were doing those until I got the District of Columbia in my change a few weeks back. Very neat.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the US coins that came out in 2009. Sorry.

But I'm really not a coin collector. I had originally started collecting them for the nieces and nephews, but now they're not interested anymore so I have extras. Normally, though, I'd rather spend coins than save them.

That's quite impressive! I was collecting them for a long time, but I needed them at one point.

I think I might have the booklet I was keeping them in. If I have it I'll send it to you. It keeps them in nice order.

I had all the check-out girls checking quarters for the territories today while I was in town and we didn't come up with a one!!!! I think they've all been collected by Canadians!

I'm sure they'll start turning up eventually--I've noticed a lot of the early series states are starting to surface again--so I'll keep my eyes open.

Yes please!! Would love it! I have them for a few of our sets over the years. It really does help. But I still have lots of loose coins too.

That's funny!! Poor gals! Did they think you were nuts? I am sure there are lots of Americans collecting as well.
