National Park Quarters

The National Park Quarters program is now underway. The U.S. Mint unveiled the designs for the first five coins in its America the Beautiful Quarters Program. The series will feature designs from 56 U.S National Parks and other sites in the 50 states, D.C. and U.S. territories. Coins will be released through year 2021. Each coin will be issued for only 10 weeks, making them limited editions and highly sought after.

The national park coin designs will be presented in the order they were first designated as national park landmarks by the federal government. The first in the series was Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas. It was released on April 19, 2010. Four other NP quarters will follow in 2010.

The other 51 quarters will roll out periodically through 2021.

They will roll out when Alabama's Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site completes the series.
