Vadim –
An excellent idea. Write to your congressman to get the ball rolling.

How about waiting 3 years and issuing a commemorative coin honoring 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing? Waiting or not, US Mint should and I think will issue a coin like that. It will be 50th anniversary of this first manned mission. As having came from former Soviet Union, I’m very interested in purchasing and adding a Apollo 11 set to my Soviet Union post stamp collection.

Maybe a 10 oz gold Santa would be nice this year, reverse proof of course.

Write to your congress people and put a bug in their ears. If you don’t tell them they won’t think about it.

Wiki says their roots date back to 1942 but the first two official seal teams weren’t formed until Jan, 1962. So you missed their 50th anniversary by a year. Maybe you could get a 60th or 75th unless they totally ignore anniversaries. Personally I prefer anniversaries with some relevance to our number system so 50 (too late), 75, 100 yrs would work in my mind, but not 54 or 57, etc.

What? Aren’t the massive 56 ATB quarter and 5 oz silver ATB quarters programs enough? Like Mike says in his last paragraph nothing specifically for the National Park Service itself but isn’t this overkill? And the quarters programs will continue on to 2021. Too bad nobody in congress looked ahead a few years and suggested “Lets do a 100 anniversary commemorative coin for the NPS in 2016 and follow that up with the quarter series in 2017.”
