The new Denali National Park quarter, the fifteenth issue of the series, and fifth design for 2012, will soon be in circulation. On Thursday, November 15th, the official launch ceremony for the new Denali quarter will take place at the Tri-Valley Community Center in Healy, Alaska.
With 1,000 residents, Healy is the largest community within the Denali Borough, and is located about 250 miles north of Anchorage. After the ceremony, the mint will hold a coin exchange and children will receive new quarters, featuring the majestic Mount McKinley in the background, with a Dall sheep in the foreground. The 2012 series quarters honor some of America’s more interesting national forests and parks – El Yunque, Chaco Culture, Acadia, Hawai’i Volcanoes and Denali. Add the new Denali National Park Quarters to your collection, now.
