Soon you will be able to carry a piece of Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve with a beautiful butterfly in your pocket and it won’t matter if it gets washed. 

A 25-cent piece featuring Tallgrass Prairie, which can be found in Kansas, will be released to the public on November 25. That release follows the U.S. Mint's sale on November 5 of its 55th America the Beautiful Quarter Three-Coin Set via its website, www.usmint.gov.

The quarter's design depicts a skyward view of a Regal Fritillary butterfly among a background of Big bluestem and Indian grass, both iconic to the preserve. 

In Kansas, the quarter will be available November 25 at the Lyon County State Bank at two Emporia, Kansas locations; 902 Merchant St. and 1202 Industrial. A Special Quarter Event will be held on December 12 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. at each bank location. 

Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is located two miles north of Strong City on Kansas State Highway 177 (the Flint Hills National Scenic Byway). The preserve is a unique public/private partnership between the National Park Service and The Nature Conservancy.
