[QUOTE="krispy, post: 2067779, member: 19065"]Sorry, but Colorado already got a National Park coined into existence with the release of the 2014 Great Sand Dunes National Park quarter dollar in the America The Beautiful series, in clad, 90% silver and 0.999 fine silver 5 oz (both BU and "P") versions. If you let Colorado have another, then all the other States will feel entitled to have commemorative coins struck for their 'founding' date anniversaries and what's then to stop this from becoming a redundant concept to the AtB program... let alone how many of the various parks will feel they too need to recognize their anniversaries. Instead of just looking at a calendar and plucking whatever seems approximately appropriate, try to consider what's already out there, current and past, and whether the suggestion really is feasible given the thing or group to be featured as subject of the coin. Again, just founding something or to celebrate an anniversary of an organization isn't really reason enough because a rounded number date comes along in a point of time since inception. That's what companies and private mints exist for (and used to be utilized for more often) in the creation of novelty mementos acknowledging such things.[/QUOTE]
