This 2010 Mount Hood National Park quarter is minted at the United States Mint at Philadelphia and has never been placed into circulation.

The fifth and final 2010 coin to be issued in the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters™ Program is the Mount Hood National Forest Quarter for the state of Oregon. It was released into circulation on 15^th November 2010, and ceremonial introduced by the United States Mint and the United States Forest Service on 17^th November 2010.

More than 1 million acres of pristine mountains, streams and lakes make up Mount Hood National Forest. This picturesque area is located only 20 miles east of Portland, Oregon.

The quarter’s reverse depicts a view of Mount Hood with Lost Lake in the foreground. Inscriptions include MOUNT HOOD, OREGON, 2010 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. The coin was both designed and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill.
