I remember the bi-metallic "sandwich" quarters in the US.  Are
they still in use?

FWIW, here are some pix of the Looney (a $1 coin with a Loon on the back)
and a "Tooney" (a $2 coin with a picture of the queen on one side
and a polar bear on the other -- sometimes referred to as a coin with
"The queen and a bare behind" ;-) )

Here's a variation (in general circulation) showing the poppy quarter:

And there's also a quarter with a pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness
that is also in general circulation.
