The United States Mint is ready to launch the next $1 coin in its American Innovation series, honoring NASA's space shuttle.
The mint on Thursday (May 15) will open sales for the golden coins beginning at noon EDT (1600 GMT). Rolls of 25 coins, struck at either the mint's Philadelphia ("P") or Denver ("D") facilities, will cost $36.25, while bags of 100 coins from either of the two mint locations will run $125.50 each.
