America the Beautiful
Quarters Program Beginning in
2010, the United States Mint will issue 56 quarter-dollar coins
featuring designs depicting national parks and other national sites as
part of the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters™
Program.
The five quarters to be released in 2010 will honor Hot Springs
National Park in Arkansas, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming,
Yosemite National Park in California, Grand Canyon National Park in
Arizona and Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon. Check out the America
the Beautiful Quarters National Site Register to find out which
national site in your state or U.S. territory was selected.
A restored version of the familiar 1932 John Flanagan portrait of
George Washington will be featured on the obverse (heads side) of the
quarters.
Release Schedule
Each year, the public will see five new national site designs depicted
on the reverse (tails side) of America the Beautiful Quarters. The
United States Mint will issue these quarters in the order in which the
honored site was first established as a national site.
