At the laundry I'm using now, I've seen a basketload* of quarters being 
hauled off to the bank (by the staff).  I don't know how many times a 
day the machines are emptied.  It looks like only a fraction of the 
machines are needed to refill the change machine.

In May, I've had 1 more 2010 (Yellowstone), and 3 2012 (Denali, Denali, 
and now Hawaii Volcanoes).  Earlier in the year, a 2011 (Chickasaw),
and another 2012 (El Yunque).

My first 2024 quarter came via drive-thru activity:

2024            The Reverand Dr Pauli Murray    d       1

Here are the gory details of finally getting the last missing quarter 
from 2022, via the coin changer a couple of weeks ago:
