It is a shiny silver coin with George Washington's face on it, appearing identical to a U.S. quarter. It can be difficult to see the face due to the dithering effect.
Baldi rewarding the player with a Quarter in Baldi's Basics Classic.
In Baldi's Basics Classic, the Quarter is the first item the player can obtain after answering Baldi's first three math problems correctly from the beginning of the game and obtaining the first notebook. A Quarter can also be found randomly in hallways and one of the faculty rooms with the Alarm Clock.
In Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, the Quarter has the same appearances in Classic and Birthday Bash. However, in Party Style, there is an unwrapped Quarter randomly in hallways instead of a present. Also, there are three more Quarters wrapped in presents. This is the first time that Quarters make a sound. Unlike Baldi's Basics Classic, the Quarter that Baldi gives the player after completion of the first notebook will disappear if they do not grab it before collecting the second notebook.

Trivia
General
mystman12 was considering the idea that there would be a separated HUD to keep Quarters.[1] It was later scrapped, due to You Thought Points making it redundant.[2]
The kind of Quarter used is a 50 State quarter which was released sometime between 1999 and 2008.
Baldi's Basics Plus
Since a Quarter costs 250 You Thought Points, and a Quarter represents 25 cents in real life, this implies that a You Thought Point is equivalent to a tenth of a cent.
Three Quarters in a faculty room. (Please add seed.)
It is incredibly rare to have three Quarters in a faculty room.
Prior to V0.3.8, Quarters did not make a sound after being used.
Classic/Classic Remastered
The Quarter and It's a Bully have the same spawn points. This can be seen if the player gives him an item and when he vanishes, there is a small chance a Quarter could be in the exact same position.
Baldi's Basics Classic
Before V1.3, there were only two Quarters the player could find, one from Baldi, and another in a faculty room.
The feature of Quarters spawning randomly in halls was later implemented in V1.3.
