National Parks Quarter Program

Beginning in 2010, the United States Mint will issue coins featuring national parks and other national sites with new quarter-dollars minted and issued in accordance with the “America’s Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008” (Act). Thanks to this innovative multi-year program, approximately every 10 weeks you will see a new design emblematic of a national site depicted on the reverse of the quarter. The sites selected for this series of quarters will come from each of 56 host jurisdictions comprising the 50 States, the District of Columbia and each U.S. territory (the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands). A portrait of George Washington will remain on the obverse of all of the quarters.

The Act, signed into law as Public Law 110-456 on December 23, 2008, requires that within 270 days of enactment (about Sept. 19, 2009), the Secretary of the Treasury must select the national park or national site to be honored with a coin in each of the 56 host jurisdictions. Under the provisions of the site selection process, the Secretary will consult with the Secretary of the Interior and the governor or other chief executive of each host jurisdiction. After a site list has been approved, the law requires the United States Mint to design, mint and issue the new quarters in the order in which each site became a national site. Learn More
