3641) "American Innovation $1 Coin Programme", USA:
The first Coin issued in the 2025 Coin issue programme under this series,
(which commenced in 2018) represents American Innovations (or Innovators) from
the State of Arkansas: Date/Year of Coin issue: 2025:
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).
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 Reserves vaults, with demand for dollar coins being abysmally low among users.
The American Innovation $1
Coins in the rolls and bags were minted at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints.
The Arkansas coin is the first of 2025.
The Coin:
The Arkansas American Innovation $1 Coin Reverse (tail)
design features Raye Montague visualising a United States Navy Oliver Hazard
Perry-class frigate, a ship she designed by computer.
The grid pattern over the
sea evokes the engineering and drafting techniques she digitised to accomplish
her design.
Included inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ARKANSAS,”
and “RAYE MONTAGUE.”
The Obverse (heads) design of the $1 (One Dollar) 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 stylised
gear, representing industry and innovation.
Privy Marks: were originally used on coins to reflect their mint of origin or as an aspect of their production or design. More recently, they have been used as design, brand identity or marketing features.
An eagle privy mark from an original coin punch identified at the US Mint at Philadelphia appeared on the American Eagle Platinum Bullion Coins "Preamble to the Constitution" Series from 2009 to 2014.
The 2025 "American Innovation" $1 Coin Privy Mark symbolises the quintessentially American traits of exploration, discovery and innovation".
Incused Edge Inscriptions:
Edges of all $1 coins are incused with their year of minting, a mintmark and the motto -"E. PLURIBUS UNUM" (meaning "One Out of Many").
A representative image of an incused edge inscription
