100 New State Quarters Available to General Public

Ft. Lauderdale, April 2, 2004: BankAtlantic, Florida’s Most Convenient Bank, will be giving away the new Florida State quarter, on a first-come, first served basis on Friday, April 9. 100 of the new quarters will be given out for free to those who request one at each of BankAtlantic’s 73 branches.

According to the Treasury Department, the series of State quarters is among the most popular coin series put into circulation. “This is a great way for BankAtlantic, the largest financial institution based in Florida, to help celebrate our new State coin,” said Jarett Levan, Chief Marketing Officer for BankAtlantic. “At BankAtlantic, we give out free gifts every day, like lollipops in our branches, chocolate hearts on Valentine’s Day, carnations on Mothers’ Day and dog biscuits in our drive-thru. We are excited to offer the Florida State quarter as our next free gift.”

“We don’t want anyone disappointed that they didn’t get a Florida State coin,” continued Levan. “However, I expect that we will give all 100 coins within the first hour the branch is open.”
