The United States Mint will join National Park Service (NPS) officials in launching the Hot Springs National Park Quarter in a ceremony in front of the park's Administration Building at 10 AM CT.
Children 18 and under in attendance will receive a new quarter for free, while adults may exchange cash for $10 rolls of the coins immediately following the event, which is expected to last under one hour. There is a stated $100 limit per person for the exchange, but final amounts are often determined by how many quarter rolls are on hand and how many people stand in line to exchange.

Upcoming U.S. Commemorative Coins: 2011-2014
2010 has already seen the release of its two commemorative coin issues by the United States Mint; the 2010 American Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollar on Feb. 25, 2010, and the 2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar on March 23, 2010.
No additional commemorative silver dollars will be launched this year, but several upcoming issues between 2011-2014 are already known.
As authorized by coin legislation that is first introduced, passed and then signed into law by the President, the U.S. Mint strikes a maximum of two commemorative silver dollars each year that honor important historical events, places and people. Unlike 2010, several clad and gold commemorative coins will also be released in 2011 along with the silver dollars.
