The new Great Sand Dunes Quarter, the 24th issue of the series, and fourth design for 2014, will soon be in circulation. Coins will be released into general circulation on August 25th. Then, on Thursday, September 4th, the official launch ceremony for the new quarters will take place at the Dunes parking area at the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Mosca, Colorado.
Mosca, Co takes its name from Mosca Pass and is the closest town next to the Great Sand Dunes, located about 23 miles away. Thousands of visitors pass through this small town annually on their way to the park. The 2014 series quarters honor some of America’s more dramatic national parks – Great Smokey Mountains, Shenandoah, Arches and, later in the fall, Everglades. Add the new Great Sand Dunes National Park Quarters to your collection, now.
