waterfallDo you know someone who collects coins? The U.S. Mint launched a new collectible coin program this year called America the

Beautiful, and they’re about to issue a new coin in the series.

On July 29th, the Mint will issue the
Yosemite National Park Quarter, the third coin in the series. The first
two coins honored Hot Springs National Park in
Arkansas and Yellowstone National Park in
Wyoming.

I dream of having the time to spend time exploring the
beautiful National Parks of the American West especially. I want to go to the Grand Canyon, and
Joshua Tree, and Yellowstone and I’m sure many more. Maybe I’ll
collect the quarters and then visit all 50 America the Beautiful
locations! What’s your favorite?

You can buy America
the Beautiful quarters from the U.S.
Mint, or just wait until you get one as change from a cash register.
