It must be YNP as the statement from the mint states "the law requires  the 
United States Mint to design, mint and issue the new quarters in the order  
in which each site was first established as a national site." See below.   
I believe that would eliminate any alternative to  YNP.           Rich  
Glasser             (Scott  is however correct in that each state gets ONE 
choice so Grand Teton could be  outvoted so doubt could still remain)

Subj: [Geysers] National Park quarters


At some point while I was in Yellowstone I mentioned to somebody that  the 
national parks are to be the subjects of the next series of U.S.  quarters. 
Nobody else seemed to have heard about the program. It's sorta  hard to 
imagine that YNP won't be #1, but that ain't necessarily so. Easy  enough to get 
info from the US Mint website, but here's the intro  page.

America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act  of 2008  
Beginning in 2010, the United States Mint will issue coins featuring  
national parks and other national sites with new quarter-dollars minted  and 
issued in accordance with the "America's Beautiful National Parks  Quarter 
Dollar Coin Act of 2008" (Act). Thanks to this innovative  multi-year program, 
approximately every 10 weeks you will see a new design  emblematic of a 
national site depicted on the reverse of the quarter. The  sites selected for this 
series of quarters will come from each of 56 host  jurisdictions comprising 
the 50 States, the District of Columbia and each  U.S. territory (the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the  U.S. Virgin Islands, and 
the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana  Islands). A portrait of George 
Washington will remain on the obverse of  all of the quarters.  
The Act, signed into law as Public Law 110-456 on December 23, 2008,  
requires that within 270 days of enactment (about Sept. 19, 2009), the  Secretary 
of the Treasury must select the national park or national site  to be 
honored with a coin in each of the 56 host jurisdictions. Under the  provisions 
of the _site  selection process_ 
(http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/NSQuartersProgram/index.cfm?action=siteSelection) , the Secretary will consult with 
the Secretary of  the Interior and the governor or other chief executive of 
each host  jurisdiction. After a site list has been approved, the law 
requires the  United States Mint to design, mint and issue the new quarters in 
the order  in which each site was first established as a national site.  
The proposed _design  selection_ 
(http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/NSQuartersProgram/index.cfm?action=designSelection)  process and _site  and 
design selection criteria_ 
(http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/NSQuartersProgram/index.cfm?action=siteDesignCriteria)  closely emulate the processes that 
the  United States Mint successfully used to develop and select designs for 
the  50 State Quarters® and 2009 District of Columbia and U.S. Territories  
Quarters Programs.  
Please check here regularly for updates on the "America's Beautiful  
National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008" coins as the site and  design 
selection processes unfold this year.
