Introduced in 2018, the American Innovation $1 Coin Program is a multi-year series featuring distinctive reverse (tails) designs that pay homage to America’s ingenuity and celebrate the pioneering efforts of individuals or groups from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories.
The Indiana American Innovation $1 Coin reverse design depicts a series of vehicles that showcase Indiana innovations from yesterday and today. From top to bottom, the design includes an early style gas automobile, a representation of classic car production, and a recent model of an Indy style race car. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “INDIANA.”
“I am honored to announce the American Innovation $1 coin for the State of Indiana,” said Ventris C. Gibson, United States Mint Director. “When I look at this design, I see the automobiles of our past and present transitioning in perfect harmony.”
“Come to Indiana today and you’ll find us at the epicenter of innovation,” said Eric J. Holcomb, Governor of Indiana. “Thrilling industries, including life sciences, medical devices, automotive technology and deeply rooted agricultural advancements abound in our high quality of life destination for top talent. Honing their skills here at top-ranked institutions of higher education, Hoosier innovators have launched global enterprises including Eli Lilly and Company, propelling treatments like insulin with a far-reaching impact. From the early automobiles of the 1890s manufactured by Elwood Haynes in Indiana to the globally known Indianapolis 500 that welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to experience the cutting edge of motorsports, completion and collaboration are keys to Indiana’s economic and innovative engine.”
