Exciting news for numismatists and people in general who didn't get kind of bored with the "50 States Quarters" after a few months: The United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters™ Program has been announced, and our very own Everglades National Park will be honored with a shiny 25-cent piece in late 2014 (assuming we still have a national currency then).
