[Geysers] Yellowstone quarter will be second behind Hot Springs AR

[Freund, Udo]

AP reported today:

US Mint list of new national park quarters
The U.S. Mint announced Wednesday that it will produce a series of quarters highlighting America's national parks, one per state and territory, beginning next year. The coins will be minted based on the dates the parks or historic sites were established and start with Arkansas' Hot Springs National Park, founded in 1832.
Here are the states, with their images and the years in which they were established as federal sites.

2010
Arkansas, Hot Springs National Park, 1832
Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park, 1872
California, Yosemite National Park, 1890
Arizona, Grand Canyon National Park, 1893
Oregon, Mt. Hood National Forest, 1893

2011
Pennsylvania, Gettysburg National Military Park, 1895
Montana, Glacier National Park, 1897
Washington, Olympic National Park, 1897
Mississippi, Vicksburg National Military Park, 1899
and the list goes on . . .

Scott was right in his earlier post about Hot Springs AR being first.

Thanks,
Udo Freund
