Many of the upcoming products are related to the ongoing coin series which feature rotating designs. This includes the Native America Dollar, which has its design changed annually, the Presidential Dollar, which issues four designs per year, and the new America the Beautiful Quarter series. This circulating commemorative quarter series issues five different designs per year featuring National Parks or National Sites from each of the 50 states, 5 territories, and District of Columbia, in the order the sites were federally designated.

Other products include the US Mint’s standard annual coin sets. The primary sets are the 2010 Proof Set, 2010 Uncirculated Mint Set, and 2010 Silver Proof Set. Separate sets are issued with only the proof Presidential Dollars or America the Beautiful Quarters.

These coins contain one half ounce of 24 karat gold. The 2010 Platinum Eagle will be issued as the second release in the six year series of designs focusing on the core concepts of American democracy.
