Comments


Launched in early 2010, ‘America the Beautiful’ is a minting program of 56 commemorative 1/4 dollar coins depicting national parks and other national landmarks of the United States of America.
The Chaco Canyon located in New Mexico is the most important pre-Columbian archaeological site located north of Mexico. Testimony of the Anasazi culture, all the sites became a historical park on March 11, 1907
