Two bit coins are interesting. Have you ever noticed that the edges of quarters from the 1970s and 1980s are often quite worn. Coins used to spend a lot of time rolling through vending and arcade machines.

I never got into collecting the state and other designer quarters. I find the fact that they were designed to be collectibles a bit off putting.

It might be the pirate in me speaking, but I prefer the two bit coins of the early 1960s and earlier.

Unfortunately, it is rare to find them in change these days.

I confess that I am not much into numismatic value. I like the worn two bit coins as I can imagine a traveler slapping two bits on the counter at the diner for a meal or patron getting a shave and a haircut at the local barber.
