The space shuttle and International Space Station are set to launch onto dollar coins in celebration of the advancements made by two states.
The United States Mint has released the designs of the Florida and Texas entries in the American Innovation $1 Coin Program. The coins are among the four to be released in 2025, as the series enters its eighth out 16 years.
"The mint works with the office of the governor or other chief executive for each state, territory or city, along with subject matter experts, to determine design concepts emblematic of innovation that are significant and meaningful to its jurisdiction and/or its role in the nation," read the mint's announcement of the new designs. "Once the Secretary of the Treasury approves the design concepts, the designs are developed and reviewed."
