Got a quarter?

The CNMI's very own state quarter's were released today. It's a historical day for the CNMI! Floyd is an avid coin collector and he was probably the first in line at the American Memorial Park today (although he won't admit it) to see the unveiling of the quarter. I wasn't there, but he said that there were even students from the public school system there to witness such a historical moment.

A very interesting fact to note about our quarter is that only 72,800,000 CNMI quarters were minted. This is the lowest amount of quarters minted for the U.S. Territories, which means our quarter is rare and at a potentially highly collectable.

If you haven't got your share, check out the local banks around your area (on or off-island).

If you didn't already know, the U.S. Mint will be releasing those state quarters of all the U.S. Territories this year. This is a historical moment for the CNMI as we are one of those quarters include our islands.

With Floyd's hobby as a avid coin-collector, he was excited to see the proof set in a little coin shop in Victorville, CA. I can honestly say that when I saw that set, I was truly amazed! WOW! My home, where I come from and our little island on the globe will be circulating on this coin this year! Be on the look out for these coins as they'll be released sometime November 2009.
