Kinda news to me, - my guess is it won't be long until the Mexican quarters start showing up.

Oh yea, it's just past Arizona, sandwiched between San Diego and Los Angeles:)

Guam???? I know we have assets there, but.......
There has only been 87,600,000 of them minted so hang on to it. Apparently they are making quarters for all of the US controled territories.......

We used to call Guam the Rock.. Have landed there several times.

My dad flew B-52s out of Anderson AFB for quite awhile. Guess it made for long missions. They finally moved to the Thai Royal Naval Air Base at Utapao.
-
The real bad news is when California starts showing up... on the Peso.
They gotta be thinking about it.

Peak, - my brother was with the 8th Air Force B-52's, SAC - flew out of Guam for two tours, and one out of Thailand - each tour being six months. Missions to South Vietnam were 13 hours 'round trip & North were 14 hours 'round trip. Flew quite a few missions to both North & South Nam, ..

The Guam quarter is the third of six coins issued in the 2009 District of Columbia and U.S. Territories Quarters Program. The other five quarter-dollars commemorate the District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Probably Puerto Rico as well.

Dude... I just picked-up a Puerto Rico quarter the other day and it tripped me out too! Next thing you know there will be "Diego Garcia" quarters circulating!

Can a Hugo quarter be far behind???

"Where America's Day Begins", thanks to the international date line. My old sub operated out of Apra Harbor there in the early 70's. Lately, I Googled on Guam and it sure has been developed since those days. Even has a Hard Rock Cafe. Back then, there were only a couple of decent watering holes. And practically NO available women. We used to say GUAM stood for "Give Up And M*******". Like to see that on their quarter! :D

This quarter is part of the commemorative series that the US Mint is issuing. It's a continuation of the State Quarter program. There will be a total of 6 issued: Washington DC, Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and Puerto Rico.
