  • The United States Mint American Innovation $1 Coin Program is a
    multi-year series honoring innovation and innovators with $1 coins from
    each State, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa,

  • Delaware is the first
    of four coins to be released this year. It features Annie Jump Cannon, a
    Delaware-born internationally recognized astronomer who invented a
    system for classifying stars still in use today.
  • Pennsylvania coin is the second of four to be released this year. It
    features the polio vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk and his team at
    the University of Pennsylvania in the early 1950s. At the time, polio
    was a devastating disease that disproportionately affected children and
    young adults and left many paralyzed and unable to walk.
  • New Jersey coin is the third of four to be released this year. It
    features an electric light bulb, developed by Thomas Edison and his team
    of researchers in New Jersey. The advent of commercially manufactured

    which drastically changed infrastructure, business, and society by
    allowing work and social activities to occur regardless of the time of
    day.
  • Georgia coin is the last of four to be released in 2019. It
    features the Trustees’ Garden, established by James Oglethorpe in 1734.
    Oglethorpe was a British soldier, Member of Parliament, and
    philanthropist who founded the Colony of Georgia. 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 obverse design features a dramatic representation of the Statue
    of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.”
    The reverse design features a silhouette of Annie Jump Cannon against

    STATES OF AMERICA,” “ANNIE JUMP CANNON,” “CLASSIFYING THE STARS,” and
    “DELAWARE.” The year of minting, mint mark, and inscription “E PLURIBUS
