Quarter

The quarter is an ancient coin once used by the United States Government as part of its national currency. Under the Unified Earth Government, the currency was discontinued in favor of the UN Credit. Quarters became valuable antiques, but with no value as currency.Halo: The Fall of Reach - page 25
==Usages==
Dr. Catherine Halsey acquired a quarter as an antique.
When testing John-117 for his possible inclusion in the SPARTAN-II Program in 2517, she played a game with him to see if he could determine or affect on which side the quarter would land. When John succeeded, she judged that he was very capable or lucky, and he would be a good inclusion in the program. As a prize for winning the game, she gave the quarter to John.
When John was forcibly inducted into the SPARTAN-II program, the UNSC confiscated the coin. John fought madly to get it back, but was unsuccessful.
In 2525, Mendez gave the quarter back to John as a going away present as their paths diverged.Halo: The Fall of Reach - page 101
In 2552, while in the clutches of the Gravemind, Halsey's posthuman duplicate Cortana began to relive Halsey's memories. Cortana remembered how Halsey acquired John for the SPARTAN-II program using the quarter toss as the deciding factor and because she felt guilty about it, declared his selection to be "the coin's fault."Halo 3 - Cortana (level)
