The Sacagawea Dollar is a golden-colored coin issued by the United States Mint beginning in 2000 to honor Sacagawea, a Native American woman who assisted Lewis and Clark during their expedition. The coin features an image of Sacagawea on the obverse and an eagle in flight on the reverse. The 2017 Sacagawea Dollars are part of the ongoing series but do not feature the distinct variations seen in previous years, making them less popular among collectors. Most Sacagawea Dollars, including those from 2017, are minted in large quantities and are primarily encountered in circulation rather than as collectible items.
