This new book poses the question, “How do you pay for things you buy at the store? You probably use dollar bills. Grownups with bank accounts can write a check, or pay with a plastic debit card. In this book, we look at another kind of money, one that people like to collect as well as spend: coins!”

Young readers are encouraged to “Join the World’s Oldest Hobby,” enjoyed by millions of Americans who collect the U.S. Mint’s state quarters and national park quarters. The contents of Adventure Across the National Parks include:

• A list of honored sites in the National Park quarters program, by state
• A foreword by Aaron J. McKeon, author
• An introduction by hobby legend Q. David Bowers
• The History of Coins
• Collecting Coins
• The Parts of a Coin
• How Are Coins Made?
• How Much is a Coin Worth?

In addition to encouraging young readers to collect coins, a goal of Adventure Across the National Parks is to spark an interest in the nation’s natural resources. “As you collect the quarters,” writes McKeon in the foreword, “be sure to read up on the places they depict—I’m sure they’ll surprise you. There are lush rainforests and remote glaciers, glittering ice caves and rolling grasslands, sprawling forests and scenic parkways. There are a few places you are really going to want to drive to and others that you can only see by boat or, better, kayak.”

“Each of the coins is bound to be exciting,” writes Bowers in the introduction. “Every one of us will learn something new.” Adventure Across the National Parks has stories and facts about every national park, forest, and other site honored in the Mint’s quarter-dollar coinage program, which runs through 2021.
