Below is text taken straight from the US Mint:
United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters™ ProgramAbout the ProgramBeginning in 2010, the United States Mint will issue 56 quarter-dollar coins featuring designs depicting national parks and other national sites as part of the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters™ Program. The five quarters to be released in 2010 will honor Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, Yosemite National Park in California, Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona and Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon. Check out the America the Beautiful Quarters National Site Register to find out which national site in your state or U.S. territory was selected. A restored version of the familiar 1932 John Flanagan portrait of George Washington will be featured on the obverse (heads side) of the quarters. Release ScheduleEach year, the public will see five new national site designs depicted on the reverse (tails side) of America the Beautiful Quarters. The United States Mint will issue these quarters in the order in which the honored site was first established as a national site. Site SelectionSecretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner selected the list of sites to be honored after consulting with the governor or other chief executive of each host jurisdiction and Secretary of the Interior Kenneth Salazar, in accordance with authorizing legislation and the site selection process. |
I believe that a Quarter Collector's Board will be similar in size and shape to that of our State Collector's Boards. I would like to use a similar map.
That being said, where should the hole be? In the center of the state? Close to the location of the quarter's site? How about those quarters from our territories? How about pictures of some of the sites affixed around on the background?
I could really use YOUR help in designing this board. I have set up a special email address for this project: ATBquarters@pops-shop.com
I will also setup a special group for all those who care to take part in this project. To further thank you for your help, I will extend a 25% discount to folks whose designs are used for the final product. A 10% discount will be extended to all who come up with some ideas that are valid.
Thank you for taking the time to help me with this design process. After all - it will be YOUR America The Beautiful Quarters Collector Board.
