The obverse of the America the Beautiful Quarters.

The America the Beautiful Quarters are a series of quarters issued by the United States Mint from 2010 until at least 2021. The series may be extended at the option of the Secretary of the Treasury, potentially extending the series to 2033. The obverse of all the coins will depict George Washington in a restored version of the original portrait used for the 1932 Washington Quarter.^[1] There will be five new reverse designs each year (one in 2021) each depicting a national park or national site (one from each state, the federal district, and each territory). The program is authorized by the America’s Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008.

Coin details

Quarters will be issued depicting designs of national parks and sites in the order of which that park or site was deemed a national site.^[2] The quarters from four different states will depict parks or sites that were previously portrayed on the state quarters (Grand Canyon in Arizona, Yosemite in California, White Mountains in New Hampshire, and Mount Rushmore in South Dakota). Though they will depict the same sites, they must bear new designs.^[3]
