I like quarters. I’m sure it has something to do with the fact that I spent so many of them as a teenager trying to beat Donkey Kong. (Heck, I think I financed the Nintendo Corporation quarter-by-quarter in 1983.) Since 1999, the U.S. Mint’s state quarter series has made the 25-cent piece worth examining again.
Some of them are easy to identify. The peach and the outline of the state’s borders makes the Georgia quarter easy to spot, even with all the dates and text removed. Not all of them are as easy to distinguish, however, which you’ll learn by trying to identify each of the $5 worth of state quarters in this nifty quiz. It’s free and, better yet, you don’t have to dodge any flaming barrels. Woohoo!

60%, because most were just random guesses. With two little kids around, I never get to keep quarters for any length of time!

Well, there are a lot more quarters circulating now that Jason took his jar of coins to the bank.

65%. Funny thing about the New Hampshire quarter is that the Old Man In The Mountain isn’t even there anymore.

14 out of 20, 70% not bad

90%. A lot of them I could guess from visiting certain places.
I love this site because it helps with my retention of useless trivia and knowledge. My wife always laments that I can’t remember when to take out the trash.

70% A lot better than I expected, being that I was only sure of 2 correct answers.

60% Guess I didn’t look at the quarters very closely when I got them!!

70%, which I think is excellent considering that I’m Canadian.

that was fun! i can’t remember my score, but it surprised me that i didn’t remember them w/o the names….

Bill T,
Yeah, I love that the Old Man no longer exists (it feel a few years ago) but that it is still on all our state issued things (liscence, plates, quarters, highway signs, state vehicles, etc.) but I guess its all we have to show off. There isn’t much else here in the granite state.
posted by Amy on 7-2-2007 at 3:30 pm
Woo! 100% for me! I obviously pay a bit more attention to these than I should… Although I am collecting one of each, and helping another friend collect two of each quarter from each mint for herself and her brother.
See them all at http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=50_state_quarters_program

The image for questions 7 and 8 is the same. The image is for Kansas, so how does one answer number 8?

95%! Hooray for useless knowledge and a good memory.
posted by jessi on 7-3-2007 at 6:08 am
80%, though I struggled with the ones not released yet, nailed the ones already in circulation.
Is it just me, or was there a problem with the image for #8, which appeared to be a duplicate picture? I had to flip a coin on that one (no, not a quarter…)
posted by Chan on 7-3-2007 at 6:30 am
I have no idea what’s going on with the image for #8 — it was working fine before, and appears to be working fine now. I couldn’t re-create any sort of error. Maybe certain browsers are coughing on it, I dunno. I re-submitted the images to see if it’ll help.
posted by Sandy on 7-3-2007 at 6:39 am
And Chan, just for the record, all of these coins are in circulation. (And that’s a hint as to the answer on a couple of them!) The most recent one to appear (to date) was Idaho in early June 2007.
posted by Sandy on 7-3-2007 at 6:41 am
65% — not bad for a Canadian who’s never seen any of them before!

All the quarters used in the quiz were released to the public — I didn’t use any that were still pending for the last half of 2007 or for 2008. We’re tricky, but we’re not THAT tricky!

Not bad at 85% but missed some that I thought would be other images, e.g.;
Louisiana – should have an extended hand(s??) looking for a tax handout;
Delaware: DuPont building or flag with NYSE symbol in middle
California: Freeway cloverleaf jammed with cars….with a faux crack down the middle.
Treasury was remiss with not having more ‘realistic’ images. Tsk!

Fun quiz…..although I only got 11 out of 20 (55%)!! Looks like I need to brush up on U.S. geography facts!

Even though I knew they would be tricky without any obvious identifying landmarks, I was fooled on the Tennessee/Kentucky choice. It got me to doubting even those I would have otherwise chosen. Still, I think 13 out of 20 isn’t that bad!

60% or 12 out of 20! This is tougher than I thought and I’m happy with my score. The State Quarter’s are beautiful and I’m so glad we have them to look at and to collect!

Fun Test, I got 17 of 20. If people know their geography they can readily identify many of these coins. For instance the Sunflower on the Kansas coin gives an indication that it is not the Colorado buffaloes. The magnolias fit Missisippi much better then South Carolina, etc.

The quarter you showed as North Dakota may or may not be correct, but the Badlands are in South Dakota, not North Dakota. Either you made a mistake or North Dakota stole its neighbor’s most famous landmark.

Why does it take so long to see some state’s quarters in my part of the world? I am still missing some from last year.
I could have cheated and consulted my “quarter collection” but I tried to rely on my memory.
Still, some of these were totally unfamiliar, so my cheating would not have helped, a lot!!!
What can we do to distribute the quarters more judiciously? I am missing some…

One cannot just look at the new Quarters and name them, one has to study them as they come out and remember what each state has that represents them

WOW!!! I got 100%. Although some of the coins took a while to get, most of them were simple just by looking at them and associating them with the state. The others soon came to me as I thought about the historical backgrounds of the two state choices. I’d like to thank all my history teachers of the distant past that made us learn about the states of this country.

How about another set?

Well, 14 out of 20 and I am not a collector. Will forward to my grandsons who are collecting.

Great good fun, requiring some detective work if you’re not a collector, and I’m not. But I loved it nonetheless.

3 wrong – Montana
Washington
Connecticut
Never paid much attention to these coins, except for my home state of NJ. I remember thinking that Washington crossing the Delaware was an odd choice
to depict NJ. I got N. Dakota correct because I figured SD will use Mount Rushmore.

I’ve been in another world lately trying to get over losing my home and trying to get enough money together to get my own space again. 9 out of 20 is not bad for someone who have not paid attention to the backs in over a year.

posted by Bruce Stokstad on 1-31-2008 at 5:44 pm
Got ‘em all – As a nerdy 8-year-old for some reason I memorized the 50 states in this order, so I pay particular attention to these quarters as they come out.
That weird obsession has served me well though as a memory aid…to remember a phone number ending with, say, 2346, I just make some mental connection between Maine (23rd) and Oklahoma (46th) and it stays with me. Yeah, weird, I know…

65% (13/20). I thought I was smarter than that! :o)Crazy how they were so familiar but I just couldn’t place the state. Fun quiz, thanks!

This was fun. I scored 17 out of 20 and I haven’t had my first cup of joe yet so I’m doing well! Love collecting the quarters with my son and now we’ve moved on to the Presidential Dollars. Why didn’t the treasury do this year’s ago? It makes things so much more interesting for kids…

100% Didn’t even have to think about it. Of course I collect for my self and my sister. Both mint marks. Fun test.
posted by Shirley H on 2-5-2008 at 11:12 am
What fun! I got 60% of them, but missed the one I thought I certainly had right: Mississippi, my home state. The leaves on the flowers didn’t look large enough for magnolia leaves to me, so I thought it must be South Carolina’s quarter!!
posted by Jane Sharpe on 2-5-2008 at 1:18 pm
I enjoyed taking the quarter quiz and I did have to think about each one as I went but 70% is not so bad is it??
I will do it again maybe next week to see how I do.
Thanks,

When I was 13, I took the money I had saved by recycling aluminum cans and newspapers and used it for a trip to the 48 continental states. I planned it down to the penny and took all of my summer vacation to make it happen Having been from California and studying American History, I realized I had seen very little of the country I was born in… I’ve been to most of the places symbolized on the coins and this test brought back a lot of great memories… As I have been living in Japan for the last 10 plus years…( I have visited all 47 prefectures in Japan too, I know more about this country than most Japanese people do) I feel pretty good about cruising on this test…(20/20) America the Beautiful… Take some time to really check it out… I do everytime I go back… Like George Carlin, I am a Bad American… I love my country…

I know this quiz was created a few years ago, but I may have spotted an error (and didn’t feel like reading through all the comments to see if it was spotted before): For the Maine quarter, I believe it is “Pemaquid” lighthouse, and not “Permaquid”. Otherwise, fun quiz.
