Modern commemorative coins in the United States, particularly the five-dollar denomination, were introduced in 1986 as part of a program to celebrate significant events, individuals, and anniversaries in American history. These coins are typically minted in limited quantities, often utilizing precious metals such as gold and silver, and are intended for collectors rather than circulation. The 1986 commemorative coins included notable designs, such as the Statue of Liberty, reflecting themes of heritage and national pride. Collectors value these coins for their artistic merit, historical significance, and potential investment.
