The new Glacier National Park quarter, seventh issue of the series and the second design for 2011, is now in circulation. On Wednesday, April 13, 2011, the official launch ceremony for the new Glacier quarter took place at the Columbia Falls High School in Columbia Falls, MT.
Nicknamed Gateway to Glacier National Park, this town is located southwest of the park, about 15 miles away. After the ceremony, a coin exchange was held and children received new quarters, featuring a mountain goat in the foreground with a towering peak in the background. The 2011 series quarters honor some of America’s most popular parks – Gettysburg, Glacier, Olympic, Vicksburg and Chickasaw. Add the new Glacier quarters to your collection now.
