The commemorative U.S. quarters are specially color-enhanced by The Franklin Mint for Twentieth Century Fox

The color-enhancing division of the Franklin Mint is finally starting to pay dividends!

"Good thing we have these quarters."

I, for one, look forward to the increased minting efficiencies we are sure to see as a result of competition from private corporations. Expect the price of US Mint-issued quarters to drop in the coming weeks.
Four-week target: $0.2275

I think it's neat that it's not illegal in the US to create and mint or publish your own currency.

I'm not a Numismatic, but I have watched a lot of TV and I don't think the FM is minting quarters so much as they are painting already minted quarters. Totally a value added situation.

Unless your state is the one getting painted over with an advertising gimmic and you are one of those people who has a "Native" license plate and care about such things.
