Well I give up my bank was getting the rolls of the National Park quarters but now been almost two months and still no Glacier NP and last one they did not get either so guess they are not getting these anymore makes me MAD.

I refuse to pay the US Mint $35.00 or whatever for $20.00 of quarters.

They should make these available to us at face value if we pay the shipping as seems like no banks are getting them.

Do not understand where they go as they make Millions of each?

But I give up will just get the uncirculated coin sets and take them out for my albums do that with the other coins also.

Have your bank order some for you from the Federal Reserve or Brinks. The reason they don't have any is they have not ordered any.

I know how you feel. I saw a dealer at a coin show selling them for 75 cents each, and I was tired of roll-searching for them at that point, and I thought might as well get them while I'm here. So I gave in and bought them . Now I'm up to date with the NP quarters . Just waiting for Olympic...

My local banks will only order the dollar coins. I live in central Pa and had to buy rolls of Gettysburg quarters. Only found 2 NP in roll searching so far.

Yea I was told by my bank what ever they order from the Fed is a Crap Shoot. The Fed no longer full fills custom orders. I don't know if their lying or not, It doesn't make sense to me. Like you said Brucec theirs millions and millions made. Where are they all going. I am one of the Suckers that orders a 100 coin bag for P and D mint. And a 2 roll set. The fact that people can get rolls of these right from the bank fills me with envy. I'll keep the rolls and create sets out of the bags. I'm hoping to get a MS-70 set out of it all. Will have to wait and see. Haven't gone through the bags yet. Only take a couple out for Albums and family.

The banks are NOT lying to you. After the State Quarters and territories ended in 2009, the Federal reserve announced that they would no longer allow the banks to special order boxes of coins except the President dollars, and they could only be special ordered during the two week period before each one was issued. All other orders for coin would be filled with whatever the local federal Reserve bank has on hand. And orders would be filled with circulated coin first, then what ever the oldest New coin they have is, FIFO First In, First Out. that means that any older stuff that comes back in to the Fed moves back to the head of the line and gets shipped back out before the new stuff.

Well my bank was ordering these and got all the NP quarters, just the last two they have not ordered anymore.

I was told by the bank they order these from their coin service place they got all the National Park rolls but the last two they have not ordered anymore, to much trouble I guess.

Banks have been making out BIG time for a couple years now they get our savings to loan out at 4 to 6% per month and pay us investors less than 1% per year. If that is not enough they also get all the money they want at 0% from the government.

Well I for one am sick of that my one CD came due yesterday I took it out of the bank, well did but they do not have the cash have to go back in two weeks and get the check cashed they issued me. Maybe if more people got sick of them using our savings for nothing and took it out they would then start paying some interest again.

You don't need to stress ANYMORE about not being able to get the new quarters from your banks !

Since there is no more Satin Finish......you can get your brilliant uncirculated business strike quarters straight from the Mint Sets now !
Crack em' out and put em' right into your Danco !
Each and every denomination delivered right to your door !
Problem solved....no more "searching or trading in the wild" for singles or rolls..... D.O.N.E.

Now, if you're wanting rolls for "error searching", stockpiling, or what have you, then, yeah, that'll be a problem....because no bank can legally specifically order these from the Federal Reserve any longer. "Coin rolling services", yes, but that will not be "consistant" obviously.
They (banks) can get them in from time to time by happenstance, (by just ordering "quarters", sometimes they'll be full rolls of the new ones) but they can't specifically order each and every design any longer.
It's quite different now, compared to the "50 State Qtr." days.....that's finished......gone bye-bye....ka-poot.

And, these Natl. Park quarters are much lower mintages too, so getting BU's in the wild will be much more difficult for many more people.
Expensive two roll sets or even the qtr. sets might be an "only option" for those "stockpiliers" and "error searchers".....but they gotta have deep pockets !

I for one, will only be using the ones which are freed from the Uncirculated Mint Sets, and of course, for the Dansco's, the Proof Sets, and the Silver Proof Sets.
I'll have no real need or desire to "stockpile" BU National Park Quarters. It would just be to fill folders for youngin's for fun, if I do come across them in "the wild". (Which I've not yet decided if I will endure that trial of seeking them out for that or not) ...

I am considering doing this.

The 2010 America the Beautiful Quarters® Circulating Coin Set (N89) is still available from the mint for those that still need 2010 quarters. It is tempting me because I only have four of the ten quarters from last year. I only have those because someone sent them to me.

I've only seen about three ATB Quarters total. Can't find them anywhere in the area.

I stopped asking at the bank if they had any rolls last year. I've seen a few from 2010 in circulation. Not many.
