El Yunque National Forest Quarter Rolls and Bags
The El Yunque quarter is the first in 2012 and the eleventh in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program that started in 2010. Its design on its reverse features the Coqui tree frog and a Puerto Rican parrot in a tropical setting. The designer was Gary Whitley and the engraver was Michael Gaudioso.
Prices for the new products have been marked lower than last year’s issues. Instead of being $49.95, 100-coin bags of the El Yunque National Forest Quarters are each $34.95, and the two-roll sets are $32.95 instead of $39.95. The main reasons for the lower prices were the result of the U.S. Mint’s efforts to refine the product costing process and negotiate better prices from its suppliers, the bureau states. Read more

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.
