On June 4, from 6 to 7 p.m. CT, the Mint will conduct a coin forum in the Nixon Room at Echo Bluff State Park, 34489 Echo Bluff Drive in Eminence.

Another botched release from the United States Mint: Inside Coin World: The release of the Congratulations set adds to the narrative that the U.S. Mint needs to overhaul its approach to limited-edition releases.

The forum serves as an outlet for U.S. Mint officials to outline the bureau’s current and upcoming coin programs and receive public input on new initiatives and concerns about U.S. Mint products.

Alley Mill, a steel roller mill built in 1894, is depicted on the reverse of the quarter dollar, the 38th in the America the Beautiful quarters program. This merchant mill was used to grind wheat into flour.
