Rare Pennies You Should Hold Onto... Including The 1943 Penny ...

Quarters have become one of the most important denominations in the United States' economy.

But they haven't been around forever (even though it seems like it!)

In fact, the first U.S. quarter was minted in 1796 -- 20 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The first design ever seen on the quarter was a profile of Miss Liberty commonly referred to as the Bust portrait.
