In 2010, the United States Mint began to 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.
Each coin in the series features a common obverse
(heads side) with the 1932 portrait of George Washington by John
Flanagan, restored to bring out subtle details and the beauty
of the original model. Inscriptions are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and QUARTER DOLLAR.
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 added to the national
parks registry.
