Apparently, the US mint released 250k quarters with a July 4th privy mark a few weeks ago. They are randomly dispersed -- you cannot just buy a roll like the state quarters. They have been in circulation for a while now. It's a treasure hunt.

So if you've got a pocket full of change, might want to check it. Odds are small but that quarter is worth a whole lot more than $.25.

Treasure hunt you say?

I’m going to steal the Declaration of Independence.

I listen to a podcast where one of the hosts is in to coin collecting. He has a membership with the mint where, before, you could pay around $30 and get a complete set of all coins that are going to be put into circulation that year.

They announced no more pennies starting in '26, but they are still releasing a penny with that set. He said the price went up to $125, and pointed out they aren't using precious metals in the standard coins anymore.

Coins are serious business.

They’ve released so many quarters with crappy details, I’m over it.

It’s now a scam hoping they will be collected and not spent to slow inflation.

What bank is going to be open on July 4?

Are they available now? Are they only available the day before July 4?

Yes, because keeping $62,500 in quarters out of circulation is just the choke point the economy needs to cool off.

What's the odds that you'll get your hands on one before the cashier snags it from the cash register?

Exactly. It’s of epic proportions.
