I got a Guam quarter in change yesterday. Not sure from where, but
most definitely from one of the 3 supermarkets I had just shopped at.
If I had spotted it earlier I would have asked about any full rolls. I
will scour the area (stores and banks) later today after work to see
if I can score any rolls.
This was in the eastern Los Angeles county area. CA
Hello
I have yet to see any in change here in the Phoenix area :(
..
I picked up a few rolls at the bank about a week ago.

What city/state?

My search last night at the stores I had been shopping at and all
banks in the area resulted in ZERO additional Guam quarters.

I'll keep looking and calling.

IIRC, the USTreasury/Federal Reserve reverted to distributing new quarters using the more normal 'as and where needed' process, like most regular coins are, for its 2009 and later production. The state quarters program produced such a HUGE oversupply of quarters that it will take years for the USA's economy to absorb them all (how many years' supply are in the vaults as of now?).

Until that surplus is exhausted, expect all of the forthcoming new varieties of quarters to have microscopic mintages (see: http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/coin_production/index.cfm?action=production_figures&DCTQuarter=DCT for the WOW numbers so far, especially for Guam and American Samoa) and to be a real challenge to find in circulation.
