The America the Beautiful Quarters are a series of 25-cent pieces (quarters) issued by the United States Mint from 2010 until at least 2021.
The Shawnee National Forest is located in the Ozark and Shawnee Hills of Southern Illinois. Little Grand Canyon is is a box canyon located in Shawnee National Forest. A small creek with a tiny watershed has carved an impressive rock canyon, leading down to the Big Muddy River. Within the area of the Shawnee National Forest is Hicks Dome, an igneous feature in Hardin County, Illinois. This was formerly speculated to be the result of a hot spot, but some argue it was caused by a meteorite impact.
Quarters are issued depicting designs of national parks and sites in the order of which that park or site was deemed a national site. Release date (national site date): February 1, 2016 (September 6, 1939).
