The U.S. Mint is celebrating the release of new quarters featuring the Declaration of Independence. Officials held an event at Monticello to help publicize the new quarters ahead of America’s 250th anniversary. The mint also announced that 250 thousand quarters bearing a special “July 4th” mark will be mixed in with the other Declaration of Independence quarters placed into circulation. Mint Director Paul Hollis said he hoped the special coins would help Americans reflect on their history during this year’s anniversary celebrations.
