<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2067876, member: 19065&quot;]I think you overestimate how much money the Parks see from these commemorative (advertisement) coin programs. When the coins launched it was all they could do at the Mint to draw attention to the parks at launch ceremonies for the 24mm sized coins. By the time the pucks were rolling out, no one was interested. The Parks didn&#039;t (and don&#039;t) sell them in gift shops.</p><p><br /></p><p>Outside of collectors, I doubt they raise much attention or awareness of parks and increased attendance, and are just spent by the size of the coin in the pocket/purse without much regard for what&#039;s on the flavor of the month coin... is that a Park Quarter or a State quarter... the designs are so overwhelmingly bland and overly optimistic of what their state is known for, yet get all but lost in the jumble of varieties they minted. </p><p><br /></p><p>So yeah, bring it on, dig up some more mines and destroy some more of the earth in your quest for more and more new commemorative coins. That will really make this a pretty place, separating the mineral wealth from the land and protecting a few spots to remember what it once looked like everywhere. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
