COMING IN 2010!

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL QUARTERS PROGRAM

Beginning in 2010, the US Mint will issue coins featuring national parks and other national sites with new quarter-dollars issued in accordance with the "America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008." Approximately every 10 weeks the US Mint will issue a new design emblematic of a national site depicted on the reverse of the quarter. The sites selected for this series will come from each of 56 jurisdictions comprising the 50 States, the District of Columbia and each of the 5 US Territories: the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The US Mint will issue the new quarters in the order in which each site was first established as a national site. A portrait of George Washington will remain on the obverse of all of the quarters.
