	A couple hundred years of history for only $12.50. Enjoy.

	awesome game.. nominated!

	hartfan:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 02:29 GMT	3 points
	Suggestion: you could include all the territories quarters as well.

	deeyoen:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 06:29 GMT	2 points
	can't see the far right ones..boooo!

	betraisefold:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 07:06 GMT	19 points
	Well done, nomination from me as well. I'm not American though, would've liked to have had a couple more minutes to try to figure out the less obvious ones.

	Great quiz. 5 stars and a nomination.

	geowiz85:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 16:01 GMT	3 points
	id like to see the territories too, but great quiz, 5 globes!

	nachosnav:	Jan 20th, 2010 at 16:22 GMT	3 points
	best quiz ever, but should include 2009 quarters

	montylaw:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 00:08 GMT	7 points
	Great quiz - need more time.

	stfox:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 01:40 GMT	6 points
	ive been waiting for someone to make this....awesome!

	conradmcmasters:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 02:16 GMT	12 points
	Good Quiz, but i think it would be better if it were like the world flag quiz where each quarter appears at the top and then the answer shows up below it.

	janiac:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 02:54 GMT	18 points
	i agree- what took time was shifting back and forth to typing in the answers and seeing the coins....

	abprindle:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 03:04 GMT	12 points
	if this quiz is published it can be modified so that each state appears below its quarter, but a normal user can't do this!

	smekeldorfed:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 03:23 GMT	4 points
	I appreciate the arrangement of the quarters like the stars on the flag, but I can't see the ones on the far right. I had to guess from the ones I hadn't used.

	tobley:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 13:38 GMT	5 points
	Thanks for the feedback and positive comments! I was thinking about including the territories, but the image formatting would not be as organized or compact. If Sporcle decides to publish this quiz, I will be sure to send them the territory quarters as well. As for not being able to see the rightmost quarters, I suggest opening the image in a separate window.

	deej:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 19:23 GMT	9 points
	Awesome idea, but yeah, the whole scrolling up and down thing is a chore. Not really your fault, I'm not sure what the quizmaker could really change about it besides add a bit more time for the scrolling?

	loves2learn:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 19:49 GMT	3 points
	This may be a weird idea, but do you think the scrolling would be less of a problem if the entry blocks were between the top half of the image and the bottom half? If so, is that even doable?

	tobley:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 20:13 GMT	4 points
	Right now, I do not think that is possible. I think I read somewhere that Sporcle may at some point support a better user-made image game, but this is all that you can do right now. If anybody knows if there is a way to get around this, please let me know.

	Gotta get me a South Dakota quarter for a coin toss, I'll call heads.

	Tommy_C:	Jan 22nd, 2010 at 16:40 GMT	5 points
	Could you put the answer line in the middle with half above and half below? That would work better.

	Annie:	Jan 22nd, 2010 at 23:08 GMT	4 points
	Fabulous game! It really brought me back!

	JimKatz:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 02:44 GMT	5 points
	Disappointing how few people recognize a scissor-tailed flycatcher. Also would have liked D.C.'s Duke Ellington quarter, the replacement for the "No Taxation Without Representation" quarter.

	jessbowen:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 20:21 GMT	-2 points
	fantastic quiz - I was thinking of doing something similar myself. I was thinking of doing two groups of 25. It would make it easier to fit all the pictures and results on one page and it would also make it a bit more difficult to get by on random guessing.

	jasonc_22:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 20:38 GMT	3 points
	Very cool quiz- the scrolling around is too bad, but I'm sure it can't be helped. Maybe if it gets selected by the Sporcle gods they can tweak it so the quarter images are next to the box in which the state name is to typed.

	hiho:	Jan 30th, 2010 at 00:56 GMT	3 points
	inque idea; I thought it was just another USA geography quiz; but this is epic. NOminated!

	alskdjfhg75:	Jan 30th, 2010 at 04:47 GMT	4 points
	you better believe i nominated this

	TreehuggnCowgirl:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 00:42 GMT	5 points
	Pffft. All those silly states that ruin our fun by putting the outline on the quarter :)

	frenchhen:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 21:48 GMT	3 points
	I loved your game! Didn't really have enough time to finish but I'll keep trying. I've nominated this game too!

Comment below threshold: show it

	awesome quiz idea.

	jonesjeffum:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 19:38 GMT	4 points
	great game

	gowhere:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 19:49 GMT	3 points
	Love the concept, but I agree that sporcle gods need to do something to match the names to the coins as jasonc_22 suggested.

	landfill7106:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 06:50 GMT	3 points
	District of "Columbia"

	HuskerTan:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 02:07 GMT	3 points
	Washington Dc should count for District of Columbia...

	cantthinkofaname:	Mar 26th, 2010 at 08:07 GMT	2 points
	It's Northern Mariana Islands, not Marianas, I have the quarter right here in front of me so I know I'm right. and virgin islands won't work for me, stupid glitches costing me perfect scores.

	rockinlipe:	Apr 1st, 2010 at 03:33 GMT	1 point
	its too small to see

	Roman:	Apr 16th, 2010 at 18:06 GMT	1 point
	It would be nice if the US Mint did the countries of the world as well...

	fordefr:	Apr 18th, 2010 at 03:42 GMT	2 points
	It would be nice if you mentioned that there are non-states on here. The title says name the states.

	kcullen923:	Apr 19th, 2010 at 02:36 GMT	1 point
	hmm didn't even know D.C. and Guam had their own quarters. I wish it was possible to see the image a bit bigger to clearly see what is on some of the coins
