Commemorative Coins

Congress mints commemorative coins to honor American people, places, events, and institutions. They are not minted for general circulation, and each coin is produced in limited quantity and only available for a limited time.

These commemorative coins help raise money for important causes, and part of the price of these coins goes to organizations and projects that benefit the community. The commemorative coin program began in 1982, and the United States Mint has raised over $418,000,000. There have been many coins celebrating all sorts of special events, like the Olympics, Statue of Liberty Coins, coins commemorating Daniel Boone, the Oregon Trail and Lewis and Clark. There were coins minted to celebrate presidents and the new Statehood Quarters are a new commemorative coins project celebrating the 50 states of the United States.
