The quarter with a hole in it is often called a "hobo nickel" or "love token." Hobo nickels originated during the Great Depression when homeless individuals would carve designs into coins as a way to pass the time and make a little bit of money selling them as souvenirs.
The hole in the quarter may have been added by the hobo as part of their design, or it could have been punched out as a way to turn the coin into a pendant or keychain. Today, hole-punched quarters are often used as markers in board games or as lucky charms.
While the U.S. Mint does not intentionally create quarters with holes in them, some coins may have become damaged or altered after leaving the Mint's possession. In these cases, the coin may still be considered legal tender, but its value as a collectible may be diminished.
