Hi, I do some digital work for the US Mint, and if you are planning on visiting Yosemite this week with kids, the Yosemite National Park Quarter event is Thursday, July 29th at Yosemite National Park at 11:00 am PT. The general public is invited to gather at the Yosemite Valley Visitor’s Center where the launch will take place.
Children under the age of 18 will receive a free Yosemite National Park quarter to commemorate this special day. The entire family can enjoy live music, special guest speakers, and a specially designed cake featuring the Yosemite National Park Quarter.
If you can’t make it to the event, you can check out the live webcast at http://bit.ly/b2Oxmd The webcast starts at 10:55 am (PT).
