10-Coin Set of Circulating 2016 America the Beautiful Quarters Released

The United States Mint is now selling a 10-coin set that includes circulating versions of this year’s quarters.

Officially named the 2016 America the Beautiful Quarters Circulating Coin Set™, the product designed for coin collectors has 5 quarters minted in Denver and 5 quarters minted in Philadelphia. These cities have the two U.S. Mint facilities that strike all the nation’s coins for general circulation. While the quarters in the set are in circulating quality, they have never been circulated.

This year’s quarters commemorate national sites with reverse designs emblematic of:

• Illinois’s Shawnee National Forest,
• Kentucky’s Cumberland Gap National Historical Park,
• West Virginia’s Harpers Ferry National Historical Park
• North Dakota’s Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and
• South Carolina’s Fort Moultrie (Fort Sumter National Monument).

Easy-To-Open Packaging

The sets are issued annually. Their inexpensive price and unique packaging make it an appealing product for coin collectors.

First, their price at $5.95 each has been the same for five straight years. Second, the packaging is simple and designed to protect the quarters yet it is easy to remove them for placing in a coin album or other storage product.
