Newest Quarter Features Glacier Park

A quarter won’t buy you much nowadays, Glacier National Park Superintendent Chas Cartwright says — a pencil, maybe a gum ball. “But having something you can look at, something that evokes a feeling of place, is priceless,” he said. Cartwright was busy handing out a piece of pricelessness to West Glacier and Canyon elementary school children last week during a ceremony commemorating the newest America the Beautiful quarter. The coin features a scene of a mountain goat standing on a rock overlooking Mount Reynolds, near Logan Pass in Glacier Park/Chris Peterson, Hungry Horse News. More here. (AP file photo: Supt. Chas Cartwright of Glacier National Park, hands out new quarters to students of Canyon Elementary School during a ceremony held at Columbia Falls (Mont.) High School.

Question: Do you collect quarters from the U.S. Mint series for the states and now national parks?
