The US Mint is starting a program where they will feature different youth sports on the back of quarters. They’re doing a survey to figure out which sports have the most interest and excitement behind them and the winners will be featured on quarters starting in 2027.
Roller skating is one of the sports they’re considering. Think about how great it would be if roller skating was featured on the back of the official quarters. That would generate publicity and excitement for our sport as long as those quarters were being used. Every time someone got change from a purchase they’d be carrying a small advertisement for roller skating. Coin collectors would be talking about skating for many years to come.
Consider taking a minute to do the survey and let the US government know that skating has a lot of fans and excitement behind it. Consider sharing this message with your internet followers and email list. Talk about it during the sessions at your rink. There are so many ways creative skating fans can use this to get skating some publicity and excitement.
Please visit https://www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-programs/youth-sports/ to take the survey. Please share this message with as many people as possible. They aren’t real clear on how long the survey will be featured on the website, so act quickly.
Thanks,
Southeastern Skate Supply
