3258) "American Innovation $1 Coin Programme", USA: The last Coin issued in the 2024 Coin issue programme under this series, (which commenced in 2018) represents American Innovations (or Innovators) from the State of Missouri: Date/Year of Coin issue: 07/2024:
The US Mint's "American Innovation $1 Coin Programme" is a multi-year Coin Series honouring Innovation and Innovators with $1 Coins from each State, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands and Northern Mariana Islands. The 57 coins under this Coin Series will be released over a 14-year period (2018-2032).
Introduced in 2018, the American Innovation $1 Coin Programme is a multi-year series featuring distinctive Reverse (tails) designs that highlight America’s ingenuity and celebrate the pioneering efforts of individuals or groups from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories.
The coins are being issued in the order in which each State ratified the Constitution of the United States or was admitted to the Union.
Under the Coin Programme, each of these States or Territories is required to identify concepts emblematic of an innovation, an innovator, or a group of innovators unique to that location and significant to the country's progress.
The final designs to be struck on the State or Territory's representative coins will be decided by the Secretary of the Treasury. These dollars will be minted alongside the US Mint's on-going series of $1 coins honouring Native American tribes and individuals.
Interestingly, no new dollar coins are officially placed into general circulation. The last dollar coins placed in circulation were the 2011 James A. Garfield dollars released under the Presidential Dollar Programme, particularly because of the large inventory of dollar coins held in Federal Reserve's vaults, with demand for dollar coins being abysmally low among users.United States Mint opens sales for Illinois American Innovation $1 coin products on January 25.

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.
The Obverse (heads) of all coins in this series features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.”
The design also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation. AIP Designer Justin Kunz created the design, which Mint Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill sculpted.
Incused on the coin’s edge are “2024,” the mint mark, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
