Still one of my favorites, and probably a big part of why I’m not a fan of the constantly changing designs we have on our quarters now. I was six when these were released, and from then on finding a bicentennial quarter was always a big deal to me. All the other quarters I saw looked the same, but Bicentennial quarters were clearly special. Now, with four quarter designs every year every quarter is different, and none of them seem particularly special.
