On Monday, June 13, 2011 at 12 noon Eastern Time, the United States Mint made available 2011 Olympic National Park Quarter rolls and bags. The Olympic National Park Quarter marks the third of five new quarter-dollar releases this year and the eighth overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. Like its previous 2011 issues, the two-roll set will be priced at $39.95, and each 100-coin bag will be $49.95.
Olympic National Park Quarter Rolls and Bags
Since the coins in the rolls and bags are business strikes and have never been circulated in the public, they have a certain draw for coin collectors. Buyers of the two-roll set will receive one 40 coin roll from the Denver Mint and one 40 coin roll from the Philadelphia Mint. The rolls have special black and white wrapping that says "America the Beautiful Quarters Program," "$10," "Olympic National Park (WA)," and either a "D" for Denver or a "P" for Philadelphia.

The United States Mint plans to offer this year’s five coins in intervals throughout the year with only the 2011 Gettysburg National Military Park Silver Bullion Coin and the 2011 Glacier National Park Silver Bullion Coin released at this time.
The United States Mint mintage total for Glacier National Park Quarters was 61.6 million. The Glacier quarter was released into circulation on April 4, which was the same day the US Mint started offering collector 100-coin bags and two-roll sets of its circulation strikes.
When considering mint facility output, Philadelphia struck fewer than Denver. The 2011-P Glacier Park Quarter mintage was 30.4 million and tied with the lowest minted park quarter to date, the 2011-P Gettysburg Park Quarter. As for the 2011-D Glacier Park Quarter, 31.2 million were produced, ranking third lowest at this time. Continue reading Glacier National Park Quarter Mintage→
At 12 noon Eastern Time on Tuesday, April 19, the latest America the Beautiful Quarters Uncirculated Set was launched by the United States Mint for $21.95.
2011 Uncirculated Quarters Set
This set consists of 10 quarters — five uncirculated quarters minted at Denver and five uncirculated quarters minted at Philadelphia, which equals two strikes for each design. The uncirculated finish means the coins are not business strikes like those found in every day change. Instead, they go through a special minting process for collectors.
