I'm in too! I'll have to check my vacation fund jar and pull any out that I find for a new jar. Great idea Mike - but I'm not donating to any boob job you might have in mind.....(based on your avatar!).

I'm in! I've already got 10 of them so far
Right now they are in my STJ shotglass....Too bad they won't fit in a Cruzan bottle! That would be a fun way to store them

YAY!
I have literally been through about 1000 quarters in my VI vacation bags (where I stash ALL change). And I finally found ONE.
ONE coin..............did you hear my whoo hoo? I could not believe it. I only had about 100 to go.....jeez. So all I have is one and it sure is pretty.
I'll keep looking all year, but what I went through is almost a years worth
Great idea, but I had no clue it would be so hard to find JUST ONE

That's one more than I've found. How's everyone else doing?

Went through all my quarters this morning and found Zero, zip, nada. I'm thinking we should each save our own state's quarters in addition to any for the VI. How does that sound?

I am in with that also! It will help push it up. I will also match my collection at the end of the year.
P.S. I got 10 of the Virgin Island quarters.

It's a great idea and we definitely are in. But, they may be hard to come by. According to the U.S. Mint, the Virgin Islands quarter will have the second lowest number minted, only behind American Samoa, of all of the U.S. states and territories that will have quarters.
Heck, between all of us, we may get them all.

I keep looking. I even ask for my change in quarters and I still have yet to find one.

Can we expand the search to state quarters that have the letters "Virg" or the word "Island?"
I have a bunch of Virginia and Rhode Island quarters for some odd reason.
