The New Jersey American Innovation $1 Coin is the third of four American Innovation $1 Coins the Mint is releasing in 2019. Its reverse (tails) design pays homage to the development of a lightbulb with a filament that could last 1,200 hours. The design depicts an Edison bulb against an ornate background with the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “NEW JERSEY.” The obverse (heads) features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.” The obverse also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation. “2019,” the mint mark, and the inscription “E PLURIBUS UNUM” are incused on the edge of the coin.
The Mint accepts orders at www.catalog.usmint.gov and 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468). Hearing and speech-impaired customers with TTY equipment may order at 1-888-321-MINT. Shipping options are available at www.catalog.usmint.gov/customer-service/shipping.html.
