The Susan B. Anthony dollar, often referred to as the SBA dollar, was introduced by the United States Mint in 1979 as a tribute to the women's suffrage movement leader. This coin features a profile of Susan B. Anthony on the obverse and an image of an eagle landing on the moon, symbolizing the Apollo 11 mission, on the reverse. The SBA dollar was minted in 1979, 1980, and 1981, and is notable for its copper-nickel composition and its relatively small diameter, making it visually similar to the quarter. Due to its unique design and historical significance, the Susan B. Anthony dollar has become a collectible item among numismatists.
