Modern commemorative coins are special issue coins that celebrate significant events, people, or places in American history. The United States Mint produces these coins, often in limited quantities, to mark anniversaries or honor cultural milestones. The 1996 One Dollar coin, minted in Philadelphia, is part of the commemorative series, which aims to engage collectors and promote public interest in numismatics. These coins often feature distinctive designs and can vary in metal composition, including silver and gold options.
