The new 2013 Mount Rushmore National Memorial quarter was released for circulation at a November 6, 2013 launch ceremony at National Guard Armory in Custer, South Dakota – located a few miles from the National Memorial. At a coin exchange following the ceremony, cash could be exchanged for $10 rolls of the new coins.
Designed by sculptor Joseph Menna, the Mount Rushmore quarter is the 20th issue of the 2010-2021 National Park Quarter Series and the last of five new 2013 designs. Depicting workers adding the final details to Thomas Jefferson’s face, the new quarter offers an educational perspective on the construction and creation of the revered mountain sculpture.
