The 25 Innovation Dollars include 1 in 2018, and 4 each in 2019 - 2024 . All coins are directly from freshly cracked US mint rolls or bags, handled with gloves and never circulated. These are nice uncirculated coins and I have sold over 500 of these sets in the two mint version I sell as well. Most of the coins in the Sacagawea/Native American coin series and all of the American Innovation Dollars were NOT released into general circulation and therefore mintages are quite modest. The only way to get many of the coins was to purchase them from the mint in rolls at a premium to face value. The "Native American" reverses for the coins were implemented in 2009 and each year features a different reverse. The Innovation Dollar series began with one coin in 2018 and features an Innovation from each state of the union (plus, eventually, the six territories inclusive of Washington DC and the stateless Patent coin from 2018). A few of the Innovation Dollar designs have become quite popular (2020 Massachusetts “telephone” coin and 2020 Maryland Hubble telescope coin to name two and with popularity these coins sell for in excess of $5 a piece).

The Trustees’ Garden is considered one of the first agriculture experimental gardens in America. The ten acres of land, located in Savannah, included plants from around the world so the colonists could determine the best crops for the Georgia climate. The Trustees’ Garden reflected the scientific and commercial aspirations of the trustees and their backers in England. The reverse depicts a hand planting seeds in the inscription “TRUSTEES’ GARDEN,” from which grows a variety of species representing the variety of plants grown in the garden: an orange tree seedling, sassafras, grapes, white mulberry, flax, peaches, olive, and a young shoot too small to be identified. Additional inscriptions are “GEORGIA” and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” 2020 CT Innovation Dollar Before the invention of the graphing calculator, scientists needed a clear, quick, and simple solution to understand and solve problems of scale. The invention of the Gerber Variable Scale was that solution. Heinz Joseph Gerber (1924–1996) invented the device while studying aeronautical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1945, a few years after escaping Nazi-controlled Austria with his mother. The earliest version of the variable scale had been fashioned from an elastic band removed from a pair of pajamas. Gerber created a rubber rule and scale that could flow with a curve, expand, contract, and turn a corner. It allowed for the direct numerical reading of curves, graphs, and graphical representations. Because of its ease of use and quick solutions, the Gerber Variable Scale was a huge success, and by the 1950s, it was considered the universally accepted tool for engineers and architects all over the world. 2020 MA Innovation Dollar The American Innovation $1 Coin representing Massachusetts marks the invention of the telephone. On March 7, 1876, Boston resident Alexander Graham Bell spoke these now-famous words into a device he invented to transmit the human voice: “Mr. Watson–come here–I want to see you.” Bell’s assistant Thomas Watson, who was in the next room, received the message and communication was forever changed.

Lown would go on to study medicine and invent the Direct Current Defibrillator, a lifesaving device that uses direct electrical current in time with the heartbeat’s cycle to correct abnormal rhythms thought to be responsible for 40% of fatal heart attacks in the United States. 2024 MO Innovation Dollar George Washington Carver was born into slavery in Diamond, Missouri. He went on to become the agricultural scientist who helped save the South’s agrarian economy. Following the abolition of slavery, many formerly enslaved people became small-scale farmers, but struggled to thrive on nutrient-depleted land due to single-crop overuse. Dr. Carver knew that his lessons on crop rotation and practical farming methods could help if they could reach farmers outside of his classrooms at Tuskegee University. In 1906, Dr. Carver designed and built an agricultural school and laboratory on wheels known as the Jessup Wagon. The wagon visited farming communities throughout the South to provide demonstrations and distribute simple but informative pamphlets to those who needed them most. These efforts helped many small farmers improve their yields, earn profits, and save their livelihoods with soil-enriching crops like the peanut, which Dr. Carver used to develop more than 300 products and uses. His research and outreach not only improved the lives of individual American farmers but changed Southern agriculture forever. Below is a listing of the themes with information from the US mint on the Sacagawea designs: 2009 - Three Sisters Agriculture Coin commemorates the spread of Three Sisters Agriculture around 1000 A D and features a Native American woman planting seeds in a field populated with corn, beans and squash. 2010 - Great Law of Peace (HAUDENOSAUNEE) Coin commemorates the Great Tree of Peace and the Iroquois Confederacy of the early 1400s, and features an image of the Hiawatha Belt with five arrows bound together and the additional inscription HAUDENOSAUNEE and GREAT LAW OF PEACE. 2011 - Wampanoag Treaty 1621 Coin commemorates the Great Wampanoag Nation and the creation of an alliance with settlers at Plymouth Bay in 1621 and features the hands of the Supreme Sachem Ousamequin Massasoit and Governor John Carver, symbolically offering a ceremonial peace pipe after the initiation of the first formal written peace alliance between the Wampanoag tribe and the European settlers.

Of the 10,000 Native Americans who served in the Army and the 2,000 who served in the Navy, three out of four were volunteers.

Their exemplary record of military service continues to this day. 2022 - Ely Parker Native American Dollar The 2022 Native American $1 Coin commemorates Ely S.
