Grand Canyon National Park will soon be the featured park on a new quarter issued by the United States Mint. The America the Beautiful Quarters Program will eventually highlight 56 national parks, and thus raise awareness about these national treasures, one coin at a time.
The unique Grand Canyon design will feature a classic view of Marble Canyon from Nankoweap Delta, similar to the photograph appearing with this article. To see the actual coin design, and hear details about a ceremony to mark the rollout of the coin on September 21, 2010, in Grand Canyon Village, please follow this link.
