In reply to J. Money. When I dig them all back up, I'll have to sort through them and see if I can find any that old. Thanks for the tip!

Nice!! You should see if any of them are dated 1963 or earlier – if so, they’re worth way more than $0.25 these days in silver alone! (Approximately $3.00 each as of today – http://www.coinflation.com/coins/1932-1964-Silver-Washington-Quarter-Value.html )

In reply to Scott. Might be worth emptying it and throwing into investments :)

For some reason, I used to collect quarters when I was growing up. It didn’t matter what kind they were or the year, just that they were quarters. I stored them in a teddy bear bank and I still have the bank full of quarters. When the bank filled up, I started storing them in another container. I probably have over $100 in quarters just sitting around in my house.

In reply to MrParadoxWealth. I still have my quarter book....somewhere. I don't think I managed to fill up the entire book though.

Nice!! I guess we’re not used to such high #’s these days – except for the debt side of the equation :(

I can’t believe no one has mentioned how those passbook savings accounts would’ve paid 5.25 or 5.5% interest back then.

I just opened an Acorns account last week where I would invest some spare change and see how much compounding I can get. Right now I’m putting in around $10 a month and I’ll see what that amounts to after year(hopefully around $150)!!
