United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters™ Program

Beginning in 2010, the United States Mint will issue 56 quarter-dollar coins
featuring designs depicting national parks and other national sites as part

A restored version of the familiar 1932 John Flanagan portrait of George
Washington will be featured on the obverse (heads side) of the quarters.

The US mint has been actively redesigning many of the coins. We collected the state quarters and it was neat to see all the designs for each state. It became really hard to get the territories when they started that program. While I'm looking forward to seeing the new Park designs, don't think we will collect them. It's really become a hassle to get them from the banks and it's really expensive to buy them directly from the mint.
I have yet to see any of the new Lincoln pennies.
