In the United States, these coins were first introduced in 1892 and have seen periodic issuance, particularly in the late 20th century. The 1996 silver dollar commemorative coin celebrated the 250th anniversary of the founding of the city of Pittsburgh, showcasing the increasing trend of using coinage to recognize historical significance and promote interest in numismatics. Such coins are often sought after by collectors for their artistic design and limited mintage, contributing to their value in the collectible market.
