It includes 10 of this year's quarter dollars, two strikes of each design. One of each design is produced at the United States Mint manufacturing facilities located in Philadelphia and Denver. Although the coins are business quality, they have never entered circulation.
The five designs of the 2011 coins depict a scene emblematic of Gettysburg National Military Park, Glacier National Park, Olympic National Park, Vicksburg National Military Park, and Chickasaw National Recreation Area.
The coins are mounted on a card that allows easy access. This set provides collectors with an economical opportunity to add each of this year's issues to a collection or coin album without having to break up one of the U.S. Mint's larger or more expensive sets that may contain other coin denominations.
Once available, hobbyists may place an order via the Mint's online store at http://www.usmint.gov/catalog or call 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468).
