U.S. Sen. Harkin: Praises passage of act to honor national parks on quarters

http://www.iowapolitics.com/index.Iml?Article=143383 U.S. Sen. Harkin: Praises passage of act to honor national parks on quarters 12/11/2008 HARKIN PRAISES PASSAGE OF ACT TO HONOR NATIONAL PARKS ON QUARTERS Legislation will keep jobs in the Cedar Rapids area WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) today praised the passage of the America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008. The bill will help keep jobs at Cedar Rapids' PMX plant that were created in 2005 by increasing the production of $1 coins. PMX produces the metal sheets that become dollar coins, quarters, and dimes. The legislation, which Senator Harkin strongly supports, must be signed by the President before it becomes law. "I am pleased that Congress passed the National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act, which honors national parks and sites in every state," Harkin said. "Not only will this bill keep good-paying jobs in Cedar Rapids, but it will also promote historical treasures in Iowa and across the country." The bill requires the quarters, which will be issued beginning in 2010, to have images of one national site from each state, the District of Columbia and territories of the U.S. The U.S. Treasury will produce five quarter designs each year. ... |

Just last week I snapped the last state quarter into my Dansco to complete the collection. For ten years I had carefully sorted through dealers' stocks at shows and in shops to find the most perfect specimen of each P and D available. 100 years from now, that collection will be worth...$25. Oh well, this will give me incentive to live another umpteen years, and something numismatic to do in the interim. And, as the article suggests, it will be good for Iowa. |

This is a disaster. I wanted us to have normal quarters again after this year. Not we have those stupi territory quarters for 2009, and then "how" long with these National Park quarters, be released for? Now, if they can do 50 (or whatever) different dollar coin designs and 100 different quarters, I see NO reason not to do my "Famous Dogs" half dollar series. It might breathe at least a pinch of life back into the half, even though not much, for circulation, but, there would be collector demand for they coins. And I will continue to argue that, if they can keep reesigning all of these damn coins, they can spend a little more money to redesign the $1 and $2 bills, since we will likely be stuck with them, a long time, if not forever. |

There are too many coins and too many designs. I guess I will vote with my wallet and just stop buying all the sets I have been from the U.S. Mint. This program is unwanted and unneeded. Next we will start issuing quarters for sports teams, local politicians and anything else the Congress thinks they can get payback for. I had really hoped to see a regular quarter again after the Territorial Quarters program. Perhaps this newest program will be such a money loser for the Government that it will get canceled before it gets too far. I can only hope and will do my part. |

To assemble the whole set, one will have to travel to each of the 629 counties and shop at a local business to obtain examples. Or (gasp) trade with other collectors. "Collect 'em ALL!!" I foresee still more buffalos coming. A 21-page album should handle the complete set. |

I assumed that we were never going to return to the better profile of GW on the obverse in any case. Just how quickly are quarters "used up", anyway? I recall seeing a figure about two or three years ago that showed that the state quarters program was making so many coins that the USMint could completely stop making quarters on that date and not have to restart production for 4.5 years - that was the Federal Reserve and Treasury 'vault' supply on that date. That was the #2 supply of coins, timewise, with #1 being half dollars (they have an undefinable time supply). Dollars were somewhat low, only a year or two vault supply at that time. As happened in Canada with their Twonies, look for demand on the USMint for new quarters to drop a LOT once the $1 banknote to coin transition is (ever) completed, too. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G.
