The US Mint will issue a new quarter honoring Michigan's Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Watch the new quarter being created.
The quarter, released in early 2018 is part of the America the Beautiful series which creates a coin highlighting a National Park from each state and territory.
The video below shows the process of crafting and minting the new coin which will be released to the public following a ceremony February 7 in Munising, the home of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
