On Friday afternoon, a special red, white and blue USPS armored car, sent by Franky and Delilah, pulled up and after the S.W.A.T. team made sure the coast was clear, the mailman in full body armor got out and delivered a sealed envelope. Inside was a guard dachshund with a hermetically sealed pink packet containing a Louisiana quarter! Thanks Special Agents F & D for your hard work!
The latest list of the quarters missing are:
Alabama - FOUND BY PWINCESS EMMYLOU AND TARA
Alaska - Does the US Mint know where Wasilla is? LOL!NOT OUT YET
Arizona - FOUND BY PWINCESS EMMYLOU AND TARA
Arkansas -STOLEN!
Hawai'i - do puppers need a visa to visit? Are there any there?NOT OUT YET
Maine - Coover Country!MISSING
Michigan - Does U.P. have its own version?MISSING
Mississippi - MISSING
Thanks to all my pupper friends and their wonderful hoomans for being on guard!

I need to dig my collection back out - I did good for a while, but have gotten behind. I will make an effort to keep a look out for the ones you need !
This could be fun. I'm assuming they are all in circulation now. I'll look and see what we have around here. Randy has a huge can of silver that he is filling up. I'll see what quarters are in there.
Ummm, aren't there multiple mints for each state, i.e.: Denver, Philly and San Francisco? If so, do you care which mint?
Oklahoma and New Mexico are the new ones so far this year. Arizona, Alaska and Hawaii have yet to be released, but will be over the next 30 weeks. At least now I know not to be looking for those last three yet! I'll start looking for the others. So far today I've found 3 New York ones and 1 South Carolina, but that was just in the change I had in my purse or received in the drive through when I got lunch. I haven't looked at home yet.
Karen, Did you ever get any of these. I found a lot of quarters under furniture, the washer and dryer, etc when moving and have now copied down the list. I thought I'd see if I needed to delete any before I looked through them.
I was just looking at this, and guess what I have right in front of me?? Oklahoma!! Yep, so if you still need this one, let me know... I am not worried about you reimbursing me for it or the postage.. I tried to collect one of each for all 4 of my children when they first started them, but decided against it... Too big of a pain in the *** to try to get 4 of each at all times... So, I will set this one to the side for now and wait to hear from you Karen... :xfinger:

Boy howdy!! Or should I say YEE-HAH!! Oklahoma is O.K. by me! Thanks!
Iowa has shown up but the rest of the list is still missing. It doesn't matter which mint. Any quarter is appreciated.
Karen :2cents:
Yee~Ha is right... :headbang: Email me your snail~mail address & I will get this out tomorrow for you...
Hey, Karen, did you get Oklahoma in the mail yet?? I also have two more, New Mexico & Arkansas.... Let me know if you need them still...

I've never heard of the ar-KAN-sas river. But then I live in Illy-noiz...
My ex-husband, who is a Jayhawker (native-born Kansan) told me that years ago. At least in Kansas, they say Ar-KAN-sas River.
Maybe the people of Arkansas pronounce it the same as the state. Where did that pronunciation come from, anyway?

Well, we have the Shih-kaaaa-go politicos who are quite noizy, but I've noticed that's a character trait of that particular breed. But many ill people are noisy...
Not to confuse things, but we have the towns of Des Plaines (dezz planes) and then there's Des Moines (deh moyn). No wonder my Alsatian cousins are confused when they visit.
And doofuses who say Illy-noiz and live here should be whipped....

It's from a tribe of Indians, known as the Quapaw, and it means "downstream people". I know quite a few people in Arkansas, and the river and the state are the same pronunciation. Btw, I'm from Missouri, and we natives whose families have been there more than a decade, usually say "Mizzou-rah", while others say "Mizzou-ree". It's also Saint Louis, rather than "Sant Louis". Please keep updating your list, Karen! Now that I am back home and cleaning out and cleaning up things, I have found my quarter stash again.

I'm trying to finish my quarter collection the old fashioned way - one quarter at a time.
But I'm getting frustrated trying to finish off the collection. Then I thought lots of you live all over the United States and maybe we could all obsess over coins instead of this week's crisis - whatever IT is!!
If you come across any of the state quarters listed, just PM me and I'll e-mail my snail mail address. I promise to send you a bonafidee cheque for 67/100ths of a dollar to pay for replacing your quarter and cover your postage.
Here's the list of the Missing in Action:
Alabama - Paddle faster, I hear banjo music!
Alaska - Does the US Mint know where Wasilla is? LOL!
Arizona - close to Santee, California!
Arkansas  FOUND - THANKS TARA AND EMMYLOU!
Hawai'i - do puppers need a visa to visit? Are there any there?
Iowa - a shoe-in!
Louisiana - Cajun, crawdad quarters?
Maine - Coover Country!
Michigan - Does U.P. have its own version?
Mississippi
New Mexico - "¡La Migra!"FOUND!
OOOOOOk-lahoma - where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain. . . FOUND - THANKS TARA AND EMMYLOU!
This could be a lot of fun! Thanks in advance for all your help!
Karen :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
Here's an updated list! Ten to go!!
Ok, it has been crazy around here again... I started my new job last Monday... But, good news, Arkansas was dropped in the snail mail today.... Hope you get it soon... *hugs*
Ooh Ooh Ooh Auntie Karen Momma found Maine for you.

Auntie Karen :thumb:
Karen,
I have a Louisiana quarter.... but its a circulated coin, not mint... although it IS clean since I found it in the washing machine.
PM me & I'll send it out this weekend!
Hot diggity DOG! Don't worry about sending laundered money through the US Mail, either!
None of the collection is mint!
Five to go!!
Karen :thumb:
I will be going through all my change tonight. I will let you know what I have and send them off. I am sure that I have most of them on your list. I have kept two books up myself. One of them my Grandfather started, I decided to keep it up after he passed. He is the one who got me started on coin collecting. And of course I had started one of my own. I have lots of extras.
Mel
Thanks a lot!!
Karen
Well, darn...the ones I found are the ones everyone else just located. I'll keep my eyes peeled, though.
So I wasn't able to get to my change last night to look through it. We had tornados around us last night so I kept one hand on the emergency kit and the other on the dogs leashes!! I will get to them tonight! Promise!!

I have Michigan, Iowa and Mississippi for you. I haven't come accross any Arizona or Alaska yet. Alaska is just being released this month and Hawaii will be in October. So PM me your address and I will send them off to you.
Mel
YAHOO! I knew wiener hoomans would come to the rescue!! :rescue: :rescue: :rescue:
Snail mail is getting PM'ed!
Karen :heart:
PM your snail mail to me, too, Karen - I just found another quarter stash...
7/14/08 Karen - I have Iowa, Michigan (no, there's only one UP and LP didn't do separate ones), and Mississippi saved for you. My brother-in-law's birthday is next week, so I'll get out and mail them when I mail his prezzie, and you're welcome! If Alaska comes out in the meantime, I'll see what I can do for you.
2nd edit of the day: Oops - I just realised that Mel has these same ones for you. Ok - I checked and Arizona came out in mid-June. Have you got it and New Mexico? I do have an extra New Mexico that I talked my aunt out of. Btw, Alaska is due out in August, and Hawai'i is due out in October.
:thumb: I updated the search list - the beginning post - with a blow-by-blow of Franky and Delilah's delivery service.
See top of thread.

I may have Louisianna or Mississippi (maybe both). I keep putting quarters aside if I think they may be the ones you are missing. I finally found an Arizona the other day, but just now remembered to check the list. Shouldn't Alaska be out this sometime this month?
I have Louisiana and Mississipi.
I need Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Maine, and Hawai'i.
Karen :thumb:
I still have Alabama & Arizona, Karen... :thumb:

YEE-HAA!!
Karen
Ok, Karen, are you ready for this one??? I found Arkansas again!!!!! :headbang: Will put it with the rest of the stash to be sent off.... Only 3 left!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I keep imagining Tara telling her kids "Don't touch those quarters. I'll give you other quarters if you want them, but those are Auntie Karen's quarters and you can't have those!"
