What area of the country 2020 C?
Here in PA I haven't seen a State Parks quarter yet and only a couple 2010 shield cents. I'm only about 2 hrs. away from the P mint which makes me think distribution doesn't work the way you think it would.

The only Parks quarters I received was at the change machine inside of the Denver Mint's gift shop bungalow at the beginning of June. They were Yellowstone. Given that the mintages were 29 million D and 30 million P of the Hot Springs quarters, these Quarters are going to have a much more limited distribution pattern than the 50 State Quarters. I read an interview with the current mint director, Ed Moy, who said that with the State Quarter program, the mint made more than three times necessary for commerce, so they will be limiting the mintages on the parks. So these America the Beautiful Quarters are going to be America the obscure, as even well traveled and well read people will not know where 2/3rd of the sites are located. |

"America the Obscure" - I LOVE IT! You should copyright that so the mint can't use it.

I bought a few rolls of BU Hot Springs-D Quarters with me on vacation for spending purposes. It seems like the people of Seattle have never seen BU Quarters in circulation. Every cashier comments on the coins' new condition!  "America the Obscure" Quarters, indeed!  Another cashier here asked if my Franklin Pierce Dollars were Canadian Loonies. I told her to look closer!  Edited by DNA
