Merchant Mariners of World War II Bronze Medal
Mintage Limit is the total number of a coin manufactured across all products. (For example, a coin may be available in rolls and in our annual sets).
Product Limit is the number of a coin made available in the individual product.
Household Order Limit In cases where we have limited-mintage products (e.g., legislatively mandated or Mint established production or mintage limits), the United States Mint may impose order or household order limits. Order limits help us ensure that we provide fair purchase opportunities to the broadest audience possible. As we monitor our products, limits may be implemented, adjusted, or removed at our discretion.
During World War II the Merchant Mariners were integral in providing the link between domestic production and the fighting forces overseas, providing combat equipment, fuel, food, commodities, and raw materials to troops stationed abroad. Military missions and war planning were contingent upon the availability of resources and the Merchant Mariners played a vital role in this effort, ensuring the efficient and reliable transoceanic transport of military equipment and both military and civilian personnel.
