I've been following the release of all the state quarters, but now the territorial quarters (and D.C.!) are all released.They're equally cool-looking, but I have yet to see any of them in circulation, have you?

I've seen the Puerto Rico quarter. I didn't know they were doing territories until I saw it.
I've seen the Guam quarter in circulation, but only a couple of times: http://www.statequarterguide.com/2009-guam-quarter/
I found my first D.C. quarter in a roll of quarters I was using to do laundry this morning!
I work in a convience store so I've seen them all. I also have all the new pennies so far.
My first encounter with the territory coins was last week. My son came home from school and told me that I needed to send an extra $.25 to school for his milk money the next day. I was sure that I had sent $.35 for milk, so when I asked him, he said that he realized that I had given him a Guam quarter and he didn't want to use it, so his teacher gave him another quarter to use.
I haven't seen any yet! Are they being released in smaller quantities than the state quarters were?
I got a Samoa quarter in the store the same day as the earthquake there. In happier news, next year? NATIONAL PARK quarters! How awesome is that?!?
