The United States Mint will release the second of four 2024-dated American Innovation Dollar releases today beginning at 12pm EST. The coins will be available in 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags from both Philadelphia and Denver.
The program began in 2018 with an introductory coin and is following up with four coins per year. The multi-year series aims to honor innovation and innovators for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five United States territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands). Illinois, Alabama, Maine, and Missouri are the four honorees for 2024.
Depicting the power and force of the Saturn V rocket lifting off on the reverse, the Alabama American Innovation $1 Coin features “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “SATURN V,” and “ALABAMA” inscriptions around the design. The moon is also depicted in the background of the rocket.
A dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty is seen on the obverse, remaining the constant design throughout the series. “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “$1” are inscribed in addition to a stylized gear privy mark representing industry and innovation. Mintage year, mint mark and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” are incused on the edge of the coins.
The 25-coin rolls will retail at $34.50 while the 100-coin bags will retail at $117.50. Initial household order limits are set at 10 with no mintage limit.
