Do you need any of these
Thank you for offering but our "rules" are that they have to come into our possession as change during cash transactions over there.

We also "collect" state car plates. They have to be on vehicles as well and we don't count any of them on the wall at Manny's.

Our self-imposed rules are very strict. I do however have a photo of an Hawaiian plate taken in Berry Town Center car park.

Assume you mean state quarters? You can get folders off Amazon to store them in. The folders give lots of information about the state such as capital, state bird, state flower, when they joined the union and other stuff.

Quarters are also issued by US territories like the USVI and Puerto Rico.

Yes used this route once or twice (Boggy Creek Road) but I find the 417 much easier. Too many traffic lights with other route.

I saw Washington DC last week on three different vehicles, usually one I have a problem with. Was very tempted to bank it for Feb. Several Puerto Rican ones around too.

You would expect a retired Quantity Surveyor to have an Excel spread sheet wouldn't you?

It seems we have done it 17 times since May 2006. The three rarest over that period have been N Dakota (5), District of Columbia (3) and Hawaii (2). Don't think we've seen any of he US territories.

When this "hobby" came up as a topic a few months ago it was suggested that Americans in the services who are based in Hawaii are relocated to Florida but bring their cars with them.



They must love their Toyotas.

I've no idea who took it off topic. Certainly not me. Never been known to.

Life needs to get a bit light-hearted now and again.
