Bicentennial Quarters

So yesterday was ice cream day in Chris's class, and I had to dig up 50 cents for his weekly ice cream ration. I pulled out a couple of quarters, and realized that one of them was the 1976 Bicentennial Quarter. These quarters have always kind of had a special place in my heart, though I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's because they're from my birth year, or maybe I just thought the dude drumming on the back of the quarter was cool. Regardless, I thought I'd share my excitement with Chris.

I walked into the kitchen and said, "Look at this! This quarter was made in 1976! That means it's as old as I am...cool!" Chris got super excited for some reason, and said "OK...THAT is REALLY interesting!"

This may fall under the category of "you had to be there for it to be cute," but I'm telling you...it was hilarious!
