A brief annotation | The Glacier National Park quarter, minted in 2011, is the 7th issued overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. Montana’s Glacier National Park encompasses more than one million acres of land, 300 lakes, more than one thousand species of plants, and hundreds of species of animals, yet the United States Mint was able to depict it on the diminutive canvas of a quarter. Glacier National Park in Montana was inhabited and loved by the Native Americans long before any European settlers arrived there. |
