April 5, 2007 - Quarter Trivia

Well, it must be Spring Break time since we didn't get the gaggle of check-ins to tonight's net. But that's OK. It's OK to take some time off once in a while!

Tonight, we have two Trivia Questions...

TRIVIA QUESTION:

Question 1: The grooves in the edge of a quarter are called reeds. How many reeds does a quarter have?

Question 2: According to the U.S. Mint, what is the appoximate lifespan of a coin?


TRIVIA ANSWER:

Question 1: 119

Question 2: 30 years.


The other reeded coins are the dime with 118, half dollar with 150 and the dollar which has 133 reeds or groves.
