Yosemite National Park Quarters
Just as promised, the Yosemite National Park Quarters have been released by the US mint at the end of the summer in 2010. With the level of trust in the US Government near an all time low, it is good to see at least one branch knows how to keep its word.
The Yosemite quarter is the third in the America the Beautiful series that is honoring our national parks. This was the very first national site in our nation back in 1890.
This coin was released to the public on July 26, 2010 for general circulation and should be showing up in your change soon if it’s not already. Keep an eye out for it. The front still has good old George but the back is a depiction of El Capitan. This is the 3000 foot cliff in Yosemite Park.
Like with every previous release there was a ceremony in Yosemite Park on July 29, 2010. With each official launching at the park is a set of rolled quarters that are stamped with an official pad that states they were purchased at the ceremony. If you are into Coin Collecting this might be your chance to catch history.
There are more quarters in this series that will go thru the same ceremony. Find the park closest to you and make a day of it. Most of the ceremonies do not start until 11am local time. So just being in the close proximity is sufficient to attend. But do not be too late. The rolls of the Yosemite National Park Quarters ran out by 1:30 pm.
