America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008

Bill 110 hr 6184, also known as the America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008, was introduced in the US Congress to honor the beauty and significance of America's national parks. The bill proposed the minting of a series of quarter dollar coins featuring designs representing different national parks and other national sites.

The purpose of the bill was to celebrate the natural and cultural heritage of the United States and to promote awareness and appreciation of the country's national parks. The coins would be issued in the order in which the national parks were established, with five new designs released each year starting in 2010.

The bill specified that the designs for the coins would be selected by the Secretary of the Treasury in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior and the chief executive officer of the National Park Service. The coins would be minted in the same manner as other circulating quarter dollar coins, with the same specifications for size, weight, and composition. The America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008 was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 23, 2008. The first coins in the series were released in 2010, with designs featuring national parks such as Hot Springs National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Yosemite National Park. Overall, the bill aimed to celebrate and promote America's national parks through the creation of a series of commemorative coins that would be circulated throughout the country.
