Description

The 56-coin American Innovation $1 Coin Program started in 2018. The program mandates that the Mint will issue four noncirculating dollar coins annually for 14 years.

One coin will be issued for each of the 50 states in the order in which each state ratified the U.S. Constitution or entered the Union. Following the states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories in order, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the United States Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands all would also present an innovator from their area.

The American Innovation $1 Coin representing Florida honors the Space Shuttle Program and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island.

Depicts the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.” In 2019, a privy mark was added under "WE TRUST".

The Statue of Liberty, a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York City, in the United States. The Statue is the work of sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, who enlisted the assistance of engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, designer of the Eiffel Tower.

The Statue of Liberty was completed in 1884 in France and shipped to the United States in June 1885, having been disassembled into 350 individual pieces that were packed in over 200 crates for the transatlantic voyage. In four months’ time, it was re-assembled in New York Harbor, standing just over 151 feet from the top of the statue’s base to the tip of the torch her right hand holds high above the waters of New York Harbor.

Originally intended as a gift to celebrate the American Centennial in 1876, the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States as a symbol of the friendship forged between the new American government and the government of France during the American Revolutionary War.

Depicts a NASA space shuttle lifting off from Launch Complex 39 at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. Smoke from the solid rocket boosters fills the lower edges of the design and stars are scattered in the upper background.

The NASA Space Shuttle regularly launched from Launch Complex 39 at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, a site that became iconic in space exploration history. This launch complex, originally built for the Apollo program, was adapted to support the shuttle missions starting in 1981. Each liftoff was a breathtaking display of technological precision, with the shuttle's main engines and solid rocket boosters generating immense power to propel the spacecraft into orbit. The sight of the shuttle ascending against a backdrop of smoke and fire captured the imagination of millions worldwide, symbolizing human ingenuity and the pursuit of discovery. Over the course of the program, Launch Complex 39 facilitated 135 shuttle missions, supporting a range of objectives, from deploying satellites and interplanetary probes to assembling the International Space Station.
