Since then, I seem to have another Tallchief and a Maya Angelou (my 
second overall, the previous was further in the past than this thread).

But I've also gotten some less common quarters, including El Yunque 
(2012) and the states of Alaska and Hawaii.  And Chickasaw, which was 
common 5 years ago, but not in my palm since.

(Consider, though, that 5 years ago I was using the coin changer at the 
laundomatique, which recirculates a lot of coins.  Not captive or 
closed loop, but a lot of feedback.)
