Wow, we are moving on along in the Alphabet Photo Challenge. I’m excite that this one is moving so fast and excited to join in a new challenge too! Stay tuned to see which one!
The letter Q is up now and I associate it with quarters! Quarters are 25 cents in the United States and commonly referred to as two bits. You can’t do a whole lot with just a quarter anymore, but I remember going to the store as a kid and getting a whole bag of candy and bring home change with only a quarter in my pocket. Of course, this was back in the day of penny candy, but such a nice deal and treat.
Today you only get a bubble gum ball when you put a quarter into a machine or a plastic ring. Many of these machines will cost you two quarters or 50 cents. What a shame! But that is due to inflation and the times.
Some people save quarters. This was very popular to do when quarters were made of pure silver back in the day. Now days this is not the case and quarters contain little if any actual silver.
Have you ever collected quarters? Or some other coin or currency?

How original! Coin collecting can be fun. And also profitable!
my daughter and i started collecting the state quarters. She changed her middle name to Quarter for nearly 3 years!!!
Oh ha! That is a cute little memory you have in that!
i think at this point we are over 400 dollars in state quarters. My daughter’s goal now is to convince her brothers that she should inherit the coin collection.
I keep telling her it is after I pass away! she looks at me with a strange expression!
