Coins, particularly collectible varieties, can be categorized into different types based on their design, era, and purpose. The United States has a rich history of coinage, which includes modern commemorative coins that celebrate significant events, people, or places. The $5 Modern Commems, issued in 1989, are an example of these coins, designed to honor important aspects of American heritage and culture. Commemorative coins often have limited mintage, enhancing their appeal to collectors and investors alike.
