It also happens to crack the top 20 and started off being rare right from the beginning...read more

In late November, the United States Mint unveiled the reverse design for the 2022 Native American $1 Coin. The Native American $1 Coin Program was started to honor those important contributions made by Native American tribes and individuals throughout the history and establishment of the United States.
