That quarter you have in your pocket could be worth a lot more than you expected
When the U.S. Mint was experimenting with different types of metals for coins, they were testing out one with a gold tint meant for the Sacagawea dollar coin in 2000.
The mint tested out the alloy metal on the Georgia coins, but ultimately decided not to use it for the state quarters. The coins made using the special metal are still in circulation and are highly sought after by collectors. Some Georgia quarters made with the experimental metal have sold for as much as $10,000 and another quarter sold for $7,200 last year,to see if your Georgia quarter is one of these rare coins. One of the most telling signs is a gold-green color on the coin as opposed to its normal, silver color.
The U.S. Mint launched the 50 State Quarters Program in 1999 and release five new quarters per year in the order the states ratified the Constitution or joined the Union.
