Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix

the Quarter Backs quiz
by Sandy - July 2, 2007 - 11:17 AM

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.

asdfaDSome 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!

Comments (904)
  1. 60%, because most were just random guesses. With two little kids around, I never get to keep quarters for any length of time!

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

  3. 65%. Funny thing about the New Hampshire quarter is that the Old Man In The Mountain isn’t even there anymore.

  4. 14 out of 20, 70% not bad

  5. 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.

  6. 80% bitches!

  7. I got 19 out of 20 correct. I guess I really need to get a life.

  8. 70% A lot better than I expected, being that I was only sure of 2 correct answers.

  9. 60% Guess I didn’t look at the quarters very closely when I got them!!

  10. 70%, which I think is excellent considering that I’m Canadian.

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

  12. 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.

  13. 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 www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=50_state_quarters_program

  14. 90% Shoulda known that Arizona would have the Grand Canyon rather than some generic desert scene.

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

  16. 95%! Hooray for useless knowledge and a good memory.

  17. 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…)

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 65% — not bad for a Canadian who’s never seen any of them before!

  21. My co-worker got 16 out of 20 right and challenged me to try to beat his score. I got 20 out of 20 right! Apparently he didn’t realize how much trivial information I can remember.

  22. 80%. childhood numismatist with a mind for trivia.

  23. Very interesting! A good test of what 20 of the 50 states thought was important or identified them to the rest of the country. Got 16 of the 20 correct but not as many as some the folks from north of the border :(.

  24. good test ….I forwarded it to other people I only ogt 14 right

  25. I scored 75%

  26. hay i got uh “QUARTER” OF EM RIGHT

  27. I thought I would have done better! 60%

  28. 100% correct haha!!!!
    guess i need a hobby.

  29. Score: 9 out of 20

  34. I did better the 2nd time around. got an 80.

  35. very interesting test. I thought I would have done better.

  36. I know I,ve seen all fo these,I’m evening saving them,I can’t believe I missed so many

  37. I did really well on the test, 100%, but always liked learning more about the individual states.

    Lot’s of fun, I have collectrd eleven sets. All for my grandchildren. It helped.

  41. Good exercise for the mind.

  42. I look at them so much I am surprised I only got 70%! it was fun!

  43. 100% because I am collecting them and I have all from Delaware to Idaho.

  44. 90% in 18 out of 20. I enjoyed the test and refresh my mind. I passed!

  45. This should be put in the schools and see just how many of the students can give the right answers. put them all on when they have all been minted. Would like to try it then. Thank you for the chance to do this one.

  46. I have the collection. Duh!

  47. I think it was a great test. While I scored 80% I think I should have done better if I had just looked a little closer. Regardless, I am satisfied and again, thank you for a very nice test.

  48. Score 40% awful test. I will retest it.

  49. Great test, I got 100%

  50. I got 14

  51. I only got 55%

  52. 10 out of 20! Much chagrined.

  53. 100%. I’m collecting also.

  54. I got 13/20. Its a toughy

  55. Good test I had hope that i’d done better. Should try again at later date.

  56. scored 20 out of 20. 100%

  57. scored 18 out of 20. 90%
    It helped collecting the quarters to answer the questions

  58. I’m collecting too, but I didn’t look at the group before taking this. I scored 85%

  59. this is a great game. I did not do bad. out of 20 I missed 2. And had I thought a little longer. I would not haave missed those. Oh well makes your brain work. Ha.

  60. I got 100% right. I have been collecting the statehood quarters, since its inception, for my grandchildren.

  61. I got 100%, I have been collecting them since they started coming out.

  62. Grandmothers collecting quarters for grandchildren should answer this quiz easily.

  63. I have looked at these with my son a lot and felt pretty confident. Got an 80%, not too bad.

  64. I will have to look at my quarter collection again!

  65. very interesting

  66. 100% - Too easy - what else ya got?

  67. 100% Not too hard. How about you? :o)

  68. I scored 20! I scored 20! I guess I can graduate from college now.

  69. I am not smarter than a 5th grader!

  70. who voted the choices?

  71. 90% …… AND I’m British !

  72. I loved it…. I got 100%

  73. I got 100% and I loved it. I have the quater collections so it was easy…

  74. Now you know why I just passed Social Studies Witha D+ 30 years ago. Age apperantlly does not bring wisdom.

  75. I had 80% but I have to admit some were pure guesswork.

    Nice Quiz!

  76. I got 17 out of 20.

  77. This was a fun quiz. I only scored 51%feel I could have done better if I would have given some more thought to it.

  78. I love this. I am a fourth grade teacher and I have a quarter swap with my kids every year. we finish the day with a quiz of my own invention regarding the quarters.

  79. 75% - Only OK but I tried. It was a fun Trivia subject!

  80. Let’s be serious, California should have had some pot weeds and strippers. Go California!

  81. I scored 55%. Fun.

  82. Montana-Arizona were hard. Is it kosher to quiz unreleased coins?

  83. i found that quite easy actually

  84. ** Kay says: Montana-Arizona were hard. Is it kosher to quiz unreleased coins? **

    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!

  85. I got 16 of the 20= 80% -but what’s bad about that is I got my own state WRONG!

  86. Geeeze! I only scored 30%. I thought I would do MUCH better.

  87. My husband and I are collecting these uncirculated, so I should have scored better than 80%. With #5, I immediately thought of Georgia O’Keefe; therefore, Arizona. Wrong!! Such is life, but it was interesting. Thanks

  88. Tougher than you’d think….I got 50%.

  89. Really fun quiz…beautiful artwork and much study went into creating these quarter State representations I’m sure. This is a fun way for us to appreciate them.

  90. 65%, not so good, but it was a great quiz

  91. 14 out of 20 70% Fun Quiz

  92. 20/20 right and discovered yet another way to keep old neurons firing in sequence! LMAO

  93. da

  94. Good quiz. I did not think i would get 10 right. Never studied the quarters. Just quessed. Thank you.

  95. More difficult than it looks. Thought I knew them all. Only got 13 out of 20

  96. 20/20 As a collector, I’ve seen all but South Dakota. Easy quiz for me.

  97. 20/20 Rather trickey on a few, but extra thought will prevail.

  98. I should have done better (14 of 20) since I’ve been collecting the state quarters from the start. For shame!

  99. I did 18 out of 20, and the only reason is that I have been collecting them since 1999.

  100. I scored 70%, which wasn’t too bad. This is one of the most enjoyable and informative “quizzes” I’ve taken on the net. Thanks. I’ll pass it on.

  101. Great quiz! It would be neat to have an explanation of the symbols when its graded…

  102. Well, I’m only half dumb.

  103. I got a 90!! And I’m only 12!

  104. Better than average…. but had not seen some of them before.

  105. You would think as big a deal as all of us put on collecting these Quarters we would know more about them.. I think we all need a refresher course in learning..

  106. GREAT. I REALLY DID NOT REALISE THAT I WAS PAYING SO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE PICTURES. I GOT 18 OUT OF 20.

  107. I always try to remember what each Qoarter looks like.
    I got 19 out of 20.

  108. This was a little tricky. I have to say that I was a little disappointed that I didn’t see the Hawai’i quarter.
    some of the choices for the quarters did not make any sense. It was still fun, though!

  109. 95% I would have gotten them all right but my buffalo roamed into the wrong Dakota!

  110. This was really hard. Sure showed me how observant I’m not!

  111. SCORE IS 65%.

  112. I recieved a perfect score, but I do have a slight advantage since I work at a bank.

  113. 15 outta 20 is hella good

  114. I GOT 17 OUT OF 20 RIGHT. YEAH ! DIDN’T THINK I COULD REMEMBER !!
    ANNAE’

  115. I did better that thought, I was confident about my knowledge of the states until I actually saw the coins. I like this quiz!

  116. This was sent to me via e-mail from antoher co-worker.It was really a good brain teaser. How is your responses scored?

  117. GREAT

  118. I LOVE THIS GAME, IT KEEPS YOU THINKING..

  119. THis is BS. I cite # 7. Who hasn’t heard of the Colorado Buffalo’s.

  120. 70% yeah!

  121. 50%

  122. I like your site, but I would like to know more about the coin’s origin.-I’m only 11

  123. I scored 70%- should have been higher, not only do I have uncirculated sets of these quarters, my secondary major was state(s) history!! But that was a long time ago!!

  124. I scored 100.

  125. I did worse than I thought. I better not tell my father-he’s a history teacher! I actually have a collection of beanie bears that have the state quarters in their feet, I guess I should get them out to remind me what the state quarters look like!

  126. Oh yeah.

  127. Cool - I got 90% enjoyed the quiz!

  128. Better than the average (and the person who sent it to me!) so I’m happy!

  129. Well I got 95% alot better than I thought. It was fun. Hope everyone is having a great day!!!!

  130. 50% for me…not bad considering I’m from uk…..

  131. 10 out 20 I guess that’s 50%

  132. I’m from Russia and have never seen other these coins ( exsept oregon’s) and I have 55 %….and average score is 58 %…it’s a pity that americans don’t know their coins… :(

  133. Enjoyed the quiz!

  134. Just shows how non-descript the pics on back of quarters are. Two buffalos with the sun?

  135. I scored 95% but I have been saving them for my Grandkids. So I look at them quite often!

  136. I got 14

  137. That was fun! Thanks for putting it together. I’ll show my kids and friends.

  138. This was harder than it looked. But we got 70% which isn’t bad. But it could have been better. My 9 year old son was helping us too.

  139. 70%

  140. Not too horrible. I guessed on alot of them.

  141. I got 95% right in 2 minutes time. I only missed the second one, Nebraska instead of Oklahoma.

  142. Very Cool…harder than you think! At least I got more than 50% (55)

  143. Great quiz. I got 19 right.

  144. This is not an easy mental test, but it was fun…17 of 20 not great but not terrible.

  145. Very entertaining! Got 70% of them, but it was a real test. Thank you!

  146. This is a fun brain teaser. Makes you want to pay attention to the money you carry in your pockets.

  147. There were many that I had not seen before. It would be interesting to know more about the state symbols and what state characteristics/events they represent

  148. Boy do I feel stupid - but I guess I am not alone. Thanks, this fun.

  149. Quiz was great. 65% - better than average but I’m not proud of it!!
    Thanks for a good time!!
    Linda Kling

  150. That quiz is so much fun.You should make a lot more quizs like that.

  151. I got 75%

  152. that was fun send out more thank you.

  153. Never really looked at the back of my quarters, Sorry to bring the average down.

  154. rawr im beast

  155. It just goes to show how little we know about our own country

  156. Fun quiz. 90%. Some were a WAG to answer.

  157. At 73 yrs. old and a grasp of American History I wonder who designed some of the pictures that were used for the engravings.

  158. Out of 20,I got 19, I did good

  159. Fun! 70%!

  160. %100 All you people need help!

  161. Okay…I stink. 70% and I happend to have 75cent (3 quarters) that was Ohio, Montanna & Nebraska and I still stink!!!! It was fun though.

  162. 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!

  163. thank you.

  164. L must have been sleeping when I took this test. To embarassed to reviel my score. Very good test…. THANKS

  165. I got 12 out of 20 -60%

  166. I’m embarrassed at 55%.

  167. My score was 65%

  168. I’v been collecting these things, so was a little disappointed at 80%, but at least I got those right. Lots o’ fun! Thanks.

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

  170. 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!

  171. 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!

  172. This is more difficult than I imagined but I managed to get a score of 65%.

  173. Got them all right.

  174. It would be nice after the test has been taken to know what the meaning of the coin is.

  175. 60% I guessed most of them… :)
    It was fun!!!

  176. Fun quiz! I am very proud to report that I got a 100%!! I am a collecter and I do work at a bank, but I didn’t cheat!! :)

  177. 70% 14 out of 20.

  178. Fascinating!….got 55……now will forward.

  179. This was pretty cool. I got 80% 16 out of 20. I changed a few I shouldn’t have, but it was fun!

  180. I thought this quarterback quiz was fun even if I didn’t do that well.

  181. Wow! I shocked myself. 75% Pure luck.

  182. Wow, I got 80%…that was fun. Any more like this?

  183. I got 95 percent. Missed South Dakota which was North Dakota or was that vice versa

  184. 75%

  185. Great Quiz. Would like to have seen a short blur what the relationship of the symbol and state were with the answers. Could have been interesting.
    Enjoyed in any case.

  186. Very interesting, how about the nickles or new dollars

  187. I got 70% and that would have been lower if I hadn’t gone back and changed two or three of them. Really enjoyed it anyway.

  188. I messed up! Only 75% right!

  189. I really enjoyed this. I got a 70%. Not to bad. Any more?

  190. This is hard, I have been collecting quarters since the beginning. will try again after I look at them
    again. I got 78%

  191. thought I would do better than 78% since I have collected all that have come out so far, well I’ll try again

  192. Scored 100%! I’ve been collecting the quarters for me and my kids. It is s allot of fun when you don’t get the run around from the banks. Also collect them for my mom.

  193. I thought this was an awesome quiz. I had to carefully look at each background and decide what I knew about each state. Most I recognized in a snap; while the others I had to think a minute before answering. The ones I hesitated on were the ones I missed: only 4. Thanks for sharing this with the people!

  194. 95%. I went back and changed three or four of my answers before submitting it. I guess you can’t always depend on going with your first answer.

  195. 15 out of 20……This is fun, give it a try……….

  196. 98%. I missed the 2 I don’t have in my collection. Not bad….I enjoyed it.

  197. scored 75%

  198. That was good, but challenging. I thoroughly enjoyed doing the quiz.
    I scored only 55% Uh-Oh!

  199. Great idea!
    Have any other tests about unusual objects that not many people think about?

  200. fun , challenging . scored 70% not to bad for a non collector of coins

  201. This was fun! I got 55% which is ok. The only embarassing one was missing Montana, my favorite vacation spot! You know, up around York and the sapphire hills. Good times! Thanks for the game!

  202. I should have given it more consideration, however some states have lots of the same character and look the same they could have been a possible. It was difficult to choose.

  203. I got 70%…..14 right out of 20

  204. I should have done better..only 80%. Goes to show that I don’t always see what I think I see

  205. I did get 18 correct, I still do not know what the tree symbolizes for Conn.

  206. I got 17 out of 22 Missing questions 6, 10, & 11

  207. I got 18 of the 20. The ones I missed were quarters i don’t think I’ve ever seen.

  208. 20 out of 20
    It really makes you think about what states they are from, thats for sure

  209. 75% not too bad i guess. i always wait for each new quarter to come out, so i pretty much knew what all of them looked like. but, taking this quiz, they all started running together, and i couldn’t remember what each state quarter lookied like.

  210. 70% or 14 out of 20. Not too bad considering most of the western ones have not yet come out.

  211. My brain is not what it used to be. I thought I did better than I did.

  212. If the pictures on the quarters reveal how most people in the state that live there view their state, good grief, what a joke.

  213. I Really Did Not Do So Well, Try Your Luck.

  214. I did very well on this test….thanks to all the history and geography lessons I had in school back in the fifties and and sixties. We need more emphasis on these areas in our classrooms today. Hey, this was fun!

  215. this was great fun!

  216. I am not smarter than a fifth grader!

  217. 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.

  218. Thanks, I enjoyed this (Did 15 out of 20–what’s a buffalo doing in Kansas??)
    Please put me on your list-CB

  219. Didn’t do so well, 40%. It’s good brain work… and fun too.
    Thanks for the trivia.

  220. I got 11 correct which, while not exactly stellar, is precisely how I thought’d score after completing the quiz and before checking the answers. So…I’m not so bright with 25-cent pieces, but I know myself pretty well!

  221. 60% 12 out of 20 correct. Not bad.

  222. I got 100% been collecting the quarters for my kids.

  223. wow! this was amazing!!!! i think this is pretty ballin!

  224. I missed one. Not bad, been following these since they came out. Some make sense, others don’t, like Kansas…

  225. I Cheated a little with my WASHINGTON QUARTERS State Collection 1999-2003 Volume I, and 2004-2008 Volume II , from H.E. Harris & Co., collectors books. Using them have been fun and informative.

  226. 100% I just got through collecting quarters.

  227. Its alot harder then you think
    I got 15 out of 20

  228. Haven’t seen a majority of the coins, but glad I bettered the average.
    The exercise was worthwhile.
    CW

  229. Thanks for letting me take the test. It was fun. I scoerd 100%

  230. Too Cool! Not as smart as I thought… but then… not as dumb as I thought. 16 out of 20.

  231. 19 out of 20 I scored 95% not to bad!!!!!

  232. I got 9 of them right.

  233. This quiz was lots of fun and educational as well! There ought to be more to keep our minds active.

  234. it was brainer, but I did ok 15 out of 20.

  235. these quarters are so stupid! most of them have nothing to do with the common view of their state!

  236. I thought this was fun. I got 12 out of 20 correct. I guessed a couple of them.

  237. 19 of 20. Love geography & collect the quarters. Learning is a lifelong endeavor.

  238. I loved this quiz. I only got 60% and I collect the coins even.

  239. Fun Test

  240. 100% I am totally surprised..

  241. I loved it. I scored 80% and could kick myself for a couple that I missed!!!

  242. got a 70 % thought it was easy but i guess I need to brush up on my geography

  243. Me too!..I collect quarters but only got 60%.It’s harder than I thought. Good test!

  244. Guess I’ll have to go back and do some studying

  245. I really enjoyed the test and scored 85%. I was disappointed at the ones I missed. I was also disappointed that the average score was just over 50%.

  246. I got 65%, which I didn’t think was too bad. It was a fun test!

  247. This test was very interesting. Makes the mind work.

  248. My score was 60%

  249. wow i got 100%

  250. 60%

  251. This quiz is great! I currently work at a bank and haven’t seen all the quarters yet so this was a lot of fun. 60% was my score and I think that’s pretty good for being “out of the loop”.

  252. I loved it. I can’t believe I’m only 2% (60% my score) smarter than the rest of the world.

  253. This was a good quiz and I got 13 right and 6 wrong hope I didn’t miss any.

    BTW your form needs to reflect e-mail address, confusing and I put my residence.

  254. that was interesting - had to think and rethink some - and one by process of elimination - saw the correct image later for the state nearly once already considered so had to change the prior selection :-) thanks,

  255. This was great - I loved it!!
    Am going to test my grandson Isaac - he is 7 and a coin collector.
    Bless you!

  256. Cool quiz. I got 13 of 20. Have to admit I guessed at a lot of them.

  257. I got 90%, but I’m an army brat so it wasn’t that hard except for the Helen Keller one, and I went for the state where I was born - but not raised.

  258. I got 65%, I don’t consider that one real hard, I should have gotton more right, but i guessing that I went to fast– any excuse is better than none!!!!!

  259. This is cool! I got 18 0f 20 but my kids collect the quarters - I’m going to have them do it as well.

  260. 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.

  261. I enjoyed this quiz. I have all the coins in circulation so far and recognized many of them. I got 15 out of the 20 correct. Thanks for the challenge.

  262. I’m surprised that I knew a few! (60%) At the start,I thought I’d flunk the whole thing; but some were easy to identify by depicted landmarks. Lotsa fun!

  263. excellent quiz. enjoyed it. thank you. i scored 95% because of helping a relative collect the state quarters.

  264. I thought I had done poorly but the class average is 58%, so I did not do so very bad with a 65%.

    This was interesting.

  265. 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…

  266. My score was 55%- liked the quiz.

  267. 12 right

  268. That was fun but I should have collected the quarters and I haven’t. I got 14 out of 20, 70%. When I guessed I tried to figure out the picture which helped to guess!

  269. I got 18 out of 20 You see them all the time you would think you could get them all

  270. Got 20 of 20- Good Quiz

  271. Your site is WONDERFUL!
    Hope to see more quarters with different states in the future! I collect these quarters, but obviously my score shows I did not cheat on your quiz. I had to ‘test myself’. Looks like I need to study! Your quiz will definitely encourage me to pay MORE ATTENTION to these beautiful designs and improve my score in the future. Thank you so much for developing this quiz. I shall share it with many others.

  272. Every time I’ve ever visited the Badlands they were in South Dakota! North Dakota quarter was a little confusing. It was fun, tho.

  273. Quiz is a great idea. I enjoyed taking it with a 75 % score. I will send it to my daughter as well.

  274. I got a 55. Not bad considering I don’t collect quarters. Good quiz.

  275. I scored 100% but then I collect coins.
    Good Quiz.

  276. I got a 70% I havent seen all of the quarters yet

  277. I need to study more. I got a 70%, missing 6 of the 20 questions. Guess I haven’t paid close attention. Love this quiz and think it is beneficial for everyone! Thanks!

  278. Well, I just lowered the averate score by getting 3 points lower. I even missed my own state, Virginia!
    This is a great quiz! Do the other quarter backs, too! Maybe I can lower the average score even more!

  279. That was fun. Amazing how little attention to what’s in my pocket.

  280. This was a great educational tool and much enjoyed. I did not score well, but I did learn something. 50% is not what I would have expected to get, but now I can do better (is that cheating?)
    Thanks for the site.

  281. Good job! I only scored 45, but got a really good history lesson when I read the results.

  282. I have tried to remember all the quarters by state every time I posted one in my QUARTER album.

    Walter

  283. I scored 85%. I have been collecting the coins, so I remembered them from doing that.

  284. Thanks. That was fun, although I only got 11 out of 20. Need to go back to school and study American History all over again. Some of them I could make educated guesses about especially when I have visited that state. It would be a wonderful adventure to travel to each state and learn, first hand, a little of their history! I never really paid too much attention to the quarters these days…just spend them too quicky that’s the problem.

  285. 90% - I have not seen the Iowa quarter, so I am wondering if it is in circulation, or perhaps they limited distribution to Iowa…..

  286. This was really challenging

  287. Thanks for the neat little quiz! I scored 95%! I should’ve gotten 100% because I collect ALL bicantennial and state quarters that I receive in change. I have been doing so since DE first came out in ‘99 and have currently saved just under 3K of them. I’m a bit dissapointed that I blew it and missed KY. I mistakenly confused the horse on that coin with a Tennessee Walker. OOOPS!

    John

  288. Enjoyed doing the quiz, I got 90%. It was very interesting. I thought I got them all right, tells you what I know. Thanks.

  289. I got 13 out of 20. Terrible considering that I have the collection.

  290. This coin quiz was fun. I have been collecting the quarters, but, obviously, they have not all been “published” yet. My score was 95%, not too shabby.

  291. This was pretty cool. I scored 15 out of 20. What I liked about it was that I got so many of them right without ever collecting the coins. I would love to see this done with the dollar coins as they become more available.

  292. This was a fun exercise. 90% for me who frequently forgets. Wahoo. from the Badger State…

  293. Fun quiz. 16 out of 20 pretty good for a Texan. My son has the collection. Remember the “D” on the front is for the Denver mint & the “P” for the Pennslyvania mint. We always have trouble finding the “P” here in Texas.

  294. enjoyed the challenge. I need to study a little more!
    Thanks.

  295. Sorry folks I got 100%. I am a collector of this series and have gone through over $1000 of these coins and have them all rolled. I never spend any lose change. How much does $1000 in quarters weigh.

  296. I have over 9000 of the state quarters, and have also never spent one, so 100% wasn’t very difficult and have 1 roll of D & P uncirculated for each state.

  297. I suprised myself and got 95%. For that great achievement I’m going to have a slice of peanut butter & chocolate cheesecake.

  298. I got them all right, but I cheated a little because my husband is collecting sets for our grandsons. Actually, I did know most of them however.

  299. I didn’t miss them all!! :)

  300. 18 of 20, thank you!

  301. Enjoyed the challenge even though it was 50%

  302. I scored a 100%. I collect the Denver and Pennsylvania Mints. Why collect if you don’t pay attention to what the quarter sybolizes.

  303. I scored 60%. Some of them are pretty tricky. Cool website, I really enjoyed it.

    Thanks

  304. my score was 65% and 13 out of 20

  305. My score was 80%, 16 out of 20. That was fun.

  306. 95%, 19 out of 20! Fun little test.

  307. Shows how observant I am. What about you?

  308. I enjoyed the quarter quiz…scored 80%. I and two of my children and wife save the quarters in a board designed for such.

  309. I got 15/20 or 75%. Good quiz.

  310. I got 14 out of 20 right, not too bad for not paying too much attention.

  311. What a great brain teaser!! I’m 70 yrs young and scored a measley 50%. but I loved it.

  312. hey i got 100 not bad for a old man

  313. GOOD BRAIN TWISTER. I SHOULD HAVE DONE BETTER,BUT I’LL TAKE THE 50%. IT WAS A FUN BRAIN EXERCISE.

  314. Fun quiz! I’m not as smart as I hoped! I got some right for the wrong reasons
    :( Nothing to be proud of here at 51%!

  315. Great little quiz. I got 15 of the 20 correct 75%. I guess I got a C.

  316. 65%

  317. that was so easy!!!!

  318. This quiz was fun!!!! I scored 80%.

  319. that was hard rite

    100%!
    in your face!!!

  320. Surprise! 55% right, not as good as I expected. I’m still good at making an educated guess…

  321. I got 50%…better than 40%…

  322. I got 100%. I knew them all,no problem.Then again,I’m a coin collector.I’ve collected all the state quarters since 1999 and practically have the designs memorized.I even have the silver proof state quarters from the San Francisco mint.THOSE are the ones to collect…hopefully they’ll be worth some bucks when the program ends next year.AAA+++ Good luck losers!HAH!!

  323. Quarter Backs
    Score: 75% (15 out of 20) yea! hooray!

  324. “I suprised myself and got 95%. For that great achievement I’m going to have a slice of peanut butter & chocolate cheesecake.” Oh Rob…I think you were gonna have that cheesecake anyway! Who you tryin’ ta kid - a kid? :-B

  325. mmmmmmmm…above average..75%.Not your average dumb cluck! hehehehe

  326. lots of fun. didnt know as many as i thought i would though. 60% 12 out of 20. maybe i should have paid more attention. hahaha

  327. Got 55% not great but sure enjoyed the test and it was worthwhile. Have a good one = Chuck

  328. great game I scored 80%

  329. wow only 8

  330. 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

  331. I really liked this trivia State Quarter Game. It was pretty easy for me. I have memorized almost all of the state quarters. I got a 95% out of a 100%. I would like to see more Quizes like this.

  332. Like many others I collect the quarters and still only got 8 right. Tougher than I thought it would be

  333. I scored 90% which shocked me. My guessing is getting better!!

  334. Got all correct. I have often thought that this would be a great category for Jeopardy!

  335. very cool. score 85%

  336. Score 100%; great quiz, I was surprised I got them all correct.

  337. Very fun & great quiz. I scored 95%. I would enjoy taking another one soon. Will keep my eyes open for the quiz. Thanks.

  338. I should have done better

  339. I got 90 % right, not too bad, though I
    had hoped to do better. Great quiz!

  340. Great site. I wish that I got a better score than 85%.

    Thanks.

  341. 55% here. Bah.

  342. I got 90% it was fun, will there be more?

  343. 90%! I sure know my state quarters… :-)

  344. I live in Iowa, and the rendition of the quarter is not that good. I missed because I wasn’t sure what Pennsylvania’s quarter looked like. The details in the print were not very good!

  345. FUN

  346. fun

  347. Just goes to show how one does not observe things that we take for granted. Great one!!

  348. 50% most were done just by guessing. Pretty good considering I am currently unemployed & quarters don’t stay in my pockets for long.

  349. i had 60% was a tough Quiz, but enjoyed it. maybe it would be a great Quiz for kids in History classes.

  350. 55% Tried to really think of the history of the states. Guess I didn’t do such a good job! Was fun.

  351. 85% I like this kind of quiz. thanks!

  352. I had 65% right and I collect these quarters, I think I should look at them more often. It was a fun quiz.

  353. Got a 70! the game was tougher than I thought. Learned alot of history and what the qurters meant was cool as we are collecting them for our daughter.

  354. Well I got 90% right. I can’t believe I missed two, I thought I knew them all.
    Guess not.

  355. Fun, fun. My husband took it with me, and we came up w/score of 60. NOT BAD FOR A COUPLE OLD COOTS!

  356. My Score was 55% 11 out of 20. Good Game

  357. Interesting quiz, Thanks !!!

  358. The quarter test was really challenging and fun. Thanks for putting it together. I only go 40% the first time but by the 3rd time I had 100%. Suggestions for another quiz, how about automobile symbols, like the “H” for Honda, etc.?

  359. I have different coins for numbers 5, 8, and 11. Were there changes?

  360. got 100. But I also work for a bank so its kinda like cheating sorta.

  361. I received 50%. Guess I should brush up on my geography lessons.

  362. I feel pretty good. I scored 85%.

  363. Thanks for such a great ‘brain’ challenge. I got a score of 20 out of 20. But it truly was a challenge. Keep them coming.

  364. Great quiz; love things about history; learned some new things tonight. Very good for school-aged children, and age. I am 46 and enjoyed taking the quiz!! Thanks for offering it.

  365. This was fun I received a score of 65% not yo bad. Thanks

  366. I though that the quiz was fun, and keeps a persons mind active. Thank you.

  367. This is fun I need to brush up on my geography.

  368. I’ve never seen any of these. Didn’t due to bad, some were common sense. 65%

  369. Very interesting. I need to brush up on my state quarters.

  370. oops!
