The new Yosemite National Park quarter, third issue of the series, is now in circulation. On Thursday July 29, 2010, the official launch ceremony for the new Yosemite quarter took place at the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center in California. Over a thousand people attended. Speakers included U.S. Mint Director Ed Moy and the Yosemite National Park Superintendent, among others. Children received new quarters, third in the series, featuring El Capitan, the vertical granite cliff, on the reverse.
The series’ first-year 2010 quarters honor some of America’s oldest national parks – Hot Springs, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon and Mount Hood. Add the new Yosemite quarters to your collection, now.
