Mount Rushmore Quarter Ceremony Photos

Last week, on Nov. 6, 2013, the United States Mint and the National Park Service officially launched the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Quarter honoring the site in South Dakota. The ceremony was held at the National Guard Armory in Custer, just a few miles from Mount Rushmore itself.

Honored guests included Donald "Nick" Clifford and his wife Carolyn. Nick has the distinction of being the last surviving person who actually worked on the sculpting of Mount Rushmore.

Custer Chamber of Commerce Executive Director David Ressler served as master of ceremonies with short speeches offered by Mount Rushmore Superintendent Cheryl A. Schreier and Acting Associate Director for Manufacturing at the United States Mint David Croft.
