News You Can Bruise for 2008 February 8 (entry 1)

Fri Feb 08 2008 17:30 No Quarter: If future historians wonder why Jason Scott's ARCADE documentary wasn't finished until 2028, it's probaby because I turned him to sorting quarters. Similar to Duchamp taking up chess.

I went through my milk bottle of laundry quarters to gauge the quixotitude of this quest. I found:

• 11 quarters from 1985 or before
• 37 post-1985 quarters
• 1 dime

So it's not as hard as I thought to find these old quarters. The oldest one in my impromptu collection is from 1970 and it looks great.
