The 2015 Sacagawea Dollar is a notable coin in the series of U.S. dollars that features the image of Sacagawea, a Shoshone woman who assisted explorers Lewis and Clark in their expedition. This particular coin, minted in the United States of America, maintains the standard specifications for the Sacagawea Dollar, including a diameter of 26.5 mm. This coin is composed of a unique alloy consisting of 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, and 2% nickel, providing a distinct appearance and durability. The production of this dollar coin is categorized as a "Mint Strike," ensuring it meets quality standards for collectors and cash circulation alike. There were 3,845,579 pieces minted in 2015, which places it in a moderate tier of mintage for the series. The absence of a mint mark indicates that it was produced at the Philadelphia Mint and not at one of the branch mints. As the face value indicates, this coin is a one-dollar denomination, often used in everyday transactions. Although it does not carry a designer's name due to its nature as a government-issued coin, its historical and cultural significance as a representation of Native American heritage remains strong. Collectors or individuals interested in U.S. currency will appreciate its value not only as legal tender but also as a piece of historical art.
