A quarter for each state? Puhleeze. Pick a look, and stick to it. The old quarter was just fine. It's not like people were gonna quit using it just cuz it went outta style.<BR/><BR/>And personally, I'd rather use paper than dollar coins. I can comfortably carry 10 dollars in ones, but 10 quarter-sized coins in my pocket would annoy me.<BR/><BR/>But then, money annoys me. I'd rather barter and share.
