National Parks Quarters

Beginning in 2010, the United States Mint started issuing coins featuring national parks and other national sites.  The National Park Quarters are being minted and issued in accordance with the "America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008".  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.  For a release schedule click here.
