WEB: What did I have to do to earn this merit badge?
 |
| I was pretty interested in the Coin Collecting Merit Badge because when I was 8-years-old my dad gave me this map so that I could collect all 50 state quarters (1999-2008). |
 |
| I'm only missing three quarters; Colorado, Delaware, and North Carolina. So, if you happen to come across one of these quarters, PLEASE SEND IT TO ME! |
 |
| For one of the requirements I had to collect a date set, starting with the year of my birth (1998), of a single type of coin. |
 |
| It didn't take too long to find all 13 years. |
 |
| Since I don't live close to a U.S. Mint, I surfed around on the web and found a virtual tour of the Denver Mint. I like how they make a large clay model of each quarter before it goes into production. |
 |
| This is a close-up of Utah's state quarter. Notice how the engraving is an illustration of the Golden Spike Ceremony...pretty neat. |
