The America the Beautiful Quarters Program was signed into law on December 23, 2008, by President George W. Bush. Like the wildly popular State Quarter Program, it highlights the beauty and diversity of the United States by featuring a National Park or National site from each of the 50 states, the 5 U.S. Territories, and the District of Columbia.

56 Unique Designs

A total of 56 unique designs were issued from 2010 to 2021, representing 48 National Park service areas, 5 National Forests, 1 Wilderness area, and 2 National Wildlife Refuges. Each design was carefully reviewed by a committee and approved by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury before production.

Classic George Washington Obverse

The obverse of each America the Beautiful Quarter features a restored version of John Flanagan's classic 1932 George Washington portrait created for the Washington Quarter.

5oz Silver Collector Edition

Several versions of the America the Beautiful Quarters were issued, including clad, proof, and silver proof, but the most desirable are the 5oz .9999 fine silver collector editions. To produce these large-format coins, the U.S. Mint imported German-made, high-speed Graebener coin presses capable of producing 1,100 metric tons of pressure, ensuring sharp, detailed designs.

Arches National Park

This issue celebrates Arches National Park in Utah, home to the world's highest density of natural arches. Covering nearly 77,000 acres of high desert on the Colorado Plateau, the park features over 2,000 sandstone arches along with towering pinnacles, fins, and balanced rocks. Bordered by the Colorado River to the southeast, Arches National Park offers some of the most striking red rock landscapes in the United States.
