In the May 19 The State Quarters column, collectors were asked to exercise their memories.
Specifically, collectors were asked if they could name the state and the year of issuance for State quarter dollars bearing legends aside from the government mandated texts.
So how did you do?
Did you challenge yourself not to look at the coins?
Or did you do what some folks do when they are working a crossword puzzle and get stuck (sneak a peak at the answers, in this case the actual coins)?
However you arrived at your answers, this little quiz provides you with yet another way to generate interest in the State quarter dollars program.
