Hot Springs National Park will be the first site featured in a line of "America the Beautiful" quarters starting next year that will feature a national park from each state and U.S. territory.
Hot Springs was the first park to receive a federal designation. The quarters will be issued in the order that the various parks and sites were established as national sites.
North Dakota`s Theodore Roosevelt National Park was established in 1946. It`s scheduled to join the new quarter list in 2016.
The "heads" side of the coin will still feature George Washington.
The U.S. Mint will issue five new quarters each year. |
