Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!!!!! I truly appreciate the historical significance of this coin but I JUST completed that damn 50 state quarters collection!

I was sure something would happen that would prevent me from completing the set. It is the proudest achievement of my life that I was able to persevere and fill in the cardboard map with each and every one of those state quarters. It was NOT easy. When's the last time any of you saw an Oklahoma quarter? Sure, the country is packed with Connecticut quarters and Virginia Quarters, but you try finding an Oklahoma quarter. Well I GOT ONE, baby! Ha!!!!! And now there's a 51st!!!!???? Or is this the start of some new "Jazz Quarters" series that I must begin collecting???? Will there be a US Virgin Islands quarter, or Guam or Puerto Rico? Do I need to carve slots into my state quarters board, or is this some whole new collection?
Originally Posted By hopemax The 50 state quarter collection was so successful they expanded it. So, yes, you will need a whole new folder to keep them in.

If I couldn't find an Oklahoma quarter for ages, how could I ever hope to obtain a Northern Mariana Islands quarter???
