America the Beautiful Quarters
US currency has been looking for a new series for quarters since the mint created a new quarter for each state in the Union. The America the Beautiful quarters series recognizes some of the most beautiful locations in the United States.The program started in 2010 with the released of these quarters: Hot Springs National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and Mt. Hood National Forest. The program continued in 2011, with the release of the following quarters: Gettysburg National Military Park, Glacier National Park, Olympic National Park, Vicksburg National Military Park, and Chicksaw National Recreation Area. One park was selected from each state, pushing the collection through 2021, as parks are also chosen from American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Presidential Dollar Coins
The Presidential Dollar Coin program is a program designed to recognize and honor all of the presidents of the United States while pushing for greater dollar coin use. The program started in 2007 and will continue on past 2016. The coins are released in the order that the president was in office, with four quarters released each year. The coin features the face of the president on the front and an image of the Statue of Liberty on the back.
$10 Spouse Coins
The Presidents of the United States of America are not the only individuals who are being recognized for their service to the country. The First Spouses of these men are being recognized through $10 coin pieces. The pieces were put into product in 2007 to coincide with the release of the presidential coins, and will continue on through to 2016. In an interesting twist, coins are still created for presidents who had no spouse, as the mint wants to stay in line with the presidential coin release schedule. The image on these coins show Lady Liberty when the president had no spouse while in office.
New $100 Bill
US currency has continued to change, as far as paper money is concerned, as the government works to stop those who try to counterfeit money. The latest batch is the redesign of the $100 bill. This bill features a plethora of security ribbons and watermarks, as well as color shifting ink, with one of the most unique paper money designs ever.
