That Steve Jobs coin really looks cool. It's the sculpture of him sitting cross-legged, surrounded by hills of Silicon Valley.

I wonder if these coins are available for purchase by the general public? anybody know?



Yes, the US Mint sells all of the coins in the American Innovation set to the public. Previous years’ coins can still be bought if they are not sold out.


Not an American but I wouldn't mind having some of these. Actually, coin collecting is a pretty neat hobby, especially for commemorative coins which depict a story like these. I wouldn't go in it for their possible future financial value though.


They should be available from the mint in collector’s tins, and available in circulation from eBay and similar.

They’re great to use as board game coins; much nicer than plastic chits.


The 2025 set is available directly from the US mint. Presumably the 2026 set will be available next year

Thanks, all.

This is delightful.

I used to be a coin-collector as a kid. Kinda outgrew the hobby as I grew older. But I still love new/old/unusual coins (among other things). I think I might get my hands on some of these.


You can normally order rolls of them
