A quarter
Ok.... picture two buses side by side.... now picture one of the buses jumping on top of the other. Kind of like a double cheeseburger or a double quarter pounder.
There were none. The quarter has been produced since 1796.
See the related links for an image of a standard quarter rest note in music notation.
250,000
it does
1796 is the first year the US issued a quarter, look at the coin again and post new question.
There are pictures of all U.S. quarter designs at the Related Link.
It looks like pancakes with syrup on them.
It features a bear coming at you.
In a way, it kind of does.
Google "1956 Dodge pictures" and you"ll see.
