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.

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.
