The new 2017 Effigy Mounds National Monument quarter, 36th issue of the National Park quarter series and first of five new 2017 designs, is now in circulation. The official launch ceremony for the Effigy Mounds quarter was held on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 at the Allamakee Community School in nearby Waukon, Iowa. After the ceremony, a coin exchange was held and children received the new 2017 quarters, which depict a familiar segment of the monument’s signature Marching Bear Group of animal-shaped effigy mounds.
