I used to follow coins and collecting more. With so many changes recently in pennies, nickles and quarters my numismatic interest has severely waned.
First we had the 50 State Quarters program.
Then District of Columbia and United States Territories Quarters. The Westward Journey nickel series, the Lincoln bicentennial cent, the Union shield cent and the terribly unpopular Presidential $1 Coin Program (who can wait until 2014 for the Warren G. Harding coin?!?)
Thus I was surprised to read about a new Maine special quarter coming out this year. Apparently the “America the Beautiful Quarters Program” started in April of 2010?
Oops.
Check out the article in the Bangor Daily News, “Bass Harbor lighthouse, Acadia to appear on new quarter“.
It’s a pretty cool coin, actually:
