Yellowstone National Park Quarters Released

The Yellowstone National Park Quarters were introduced last week on June 1. This is the second quarter released from the "America the Beautiful" Quarters Program.

The Mint initially offered the Yellowstone National Park Quarters in rolls and bags. The rolls were sold as a two-piece set which consisted of 40 coins in each roll. Each set has a roll from the Philadelphia and Denver Mint. The price for the two-piece roll set was $32.95 for each set. Each bag sold by the U.S. Mint contained $25 worth of Yellowstone Park Quarters or 100 coins in each bag. The price of each 100-coin bag was set at $35.95 each. The same day, coins were also being distributed to the Federal Reserve so the coins can be released into our monetary system.

The National Park Quarters Program began in 2010. It will honor a total of 56 National Parks and National Sites throughout the United States and the U.S. Territories. Five different reverse designs will be released each year in the order in which the site was established as a national site.
