We missed the National Park Service news release that explains that the series of commemorative quarters announced this week will feature a few wildlife refuges and several national forests along with national parks.

"The quarters highlight the diversity and magnificence of 48 National Park Service sites and two U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuges cared for by the Department of the Interior as well as six national forests administered by the Department of Agriculture," Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said. "Hopefully the coins will encourage people to learn more about each area and its significance to our heritage."

Beginning next year, a new quarter will be introduced approximately every 10 weeks for 11 years. The 56 coins will be issued sequentially in the order in which the featured location was first placed under the care of the federal government.
