I was given a 2015 Redbook for Christmas and was checking up on the Park quarter-dollars, looking at what’s coming next, and how many of the various designs the mints are producing.

Turns out the 2012d Acadia was coined for circulation in the smallest quantity since this quarter struck in Philadelphia: 1958! (6,360,000) v.
