US Mint Ceremony Introduces Yellowstone National Park Quarter
In what is typically as picturesque a location as could be found, the United States Mint debuted Wyoming's 2010 Yellowstone National Park Quarters to hundreds of gathered visitors today during a launch ceremony on the grounds of the Old Faithful Inn just steps away from the famous Old Faithful Geyser.
Park visitors wait on Old Faithful to erupt an hour prior to the Yellowstone quarter release ceremony, which was moved inside the Old Faithful Lodge Recreation Hall due to incremental weather. The famous geyser is depicted on the quarter's reverse.
This coin marks the second release of the America the Beautiful Quarters™ Program which debuted earlier this year with the Hot Springs National Park Quarter from Arkansas.
The ceremony was scheduled to be held outdoors but owing to the inclement weather experienced there today, the function was moved inside to the Old Faithful Lodge Recreation Hall. Temperatures hovering in the forties with a drizzle in the air do not make for pleasant event conditions.
