Kids here don't seem to understand "quarter" as anything except a coin either. They use the term "one fourth" everywhere else. Maybe terminology has changed to reduce confusion and you just weren't asking the question in the right way? I just assumed it was a Brit/American difference, but maybe it's a generational one.
