America the Beautiful Quarters Program

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 national parks and other sites in the 50 states, D.C. and U.S. territories.

The coin designs will be presented in the order they were first designated as national landmarks by the federal government. The first quarter in the series, Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas, will be released April 19, followed by four additional coins in 2010.

The other 51 quarters will roll out periodically through 2021, when Alabama's Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site completes the series.
