"Huh", she said, still looking at the coins, "this must be a new quarter."
I said, "Really? Which state?"
She said, "Um, I'm not sure. It just has a picture of a guy playing a drum."
As she showed me the "new" quarter, I told her that this was a bicentennial quarter. "That's not a new quarter. That was around way before you were born."
She looked at me and said, "Oh, yeah, right. I've heard of these. I think my dad used to collect them or something."
I remembered being not much younger than this young lady when these quarters first came out. I left the card store feeling the need to use a cane.....
