That loose change might be worth something, antiques dealer says.

n 1999, when quarters honoring the various states began to be minted, lots of collections were begun. “They’ve been minting four state quarters each year,” explains Tom Jerpbak. “But there haven’t been the same number of quarters minted for every state, so some are already worth more than others.”

Take it to a bank, and you’ll get $10 for that roll of quarters. That’s face value for the 40 quarters contained in a roll. But a coin collector might pay $16 for a roll of Ohio quarters and $39 for a roll of Tennessee quarters. “The worst thing you can do is take them to a bank,” Jerpbak says. “Face value is all you will get.”
