Commemorative CoinsCommemoratives
are legal tender… The United States
Commemorative Coin Program resumed in 1982, yet these wonder-filled pieces were
never minted for general circulation.
Instead Commemoratives are coinage authorized by Congress to celebrate
American citizens, rousing events, or historical institutions. A part of the coin’s original price is often
a surcharge to benefit a particular museum, park, or public organization. Commemoratives are produced by the US Mint in
limited quantity and available for only
a set time.
