Dollar Coin Design

The United States Mint is in the process of selecting designs for the obverse (``heads'') and reverse (``tails'') for the new $1 coin to be issued beginning in 2000. By law, the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with Congress, shall select appropriate designs for the coin. The Secretary has determined that the obverse design will be a depiction of Sacagawea, the young Native American guide who was instrumental to the success of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The reverse of the coin is required by statute to depict an eagle. In September 1998, the Mint invited twenty-three artists, including Mint sculptors and engravers, to submit obverse and reverse designs for the new coin. These submissions have been evaluated and the Mint is now seeking comments from the public on approximately five proposed obverse and five proposed reverse designs. The designs will be displayed on the Mint's web site (http://www.usmint.gov) beginning December 7, 1998.
