2026 American Innovation $1 Coin Rolls & Bags With Wisconsin Cray-1 Supercomputer On Sale April 7
2026, April 7

US Mint - The 2026 American Innovation $1 Coin Rolls and Bags featuring Innovation in Wisconsin will be available for purchase from the United States Mint (Mint) on Tuesday, April 7, at noon EDT. The reverse (tails) design features the stylized aerial view of the Cray-1, the first commercially successful supercomputer. Built from 1976 to 1982, it was known as the world's fastest computer. The Cray-1's unique circular design helped increase the speed at which signals travel from one part of the computer to the other.

"The American Innovation $1 Coin for the State of Wisconsin celebrates the world-class invention of the Cray-1 supercomputer, which was designed and built in the state of Wisconsin and is often associated with the beginning of the modern era of supercomputing," said Paul Hollis, Director of the Mint. "The Mint is honored to highlight this groundbreaking innovation and recognize its importance to both Wisconsin and the United States."

For what it is worth, the Cray-1 supercomputer is comparable to a 100 MHz Pentium CPU from 1994. This means that the average smartphone is thousands of times more powerful. Still, in its time, it was a boss.

I'll continue my set, minus the Proofs since they've abandoned them. Sad that they did, but up through 2025 have PDS&S Proof & RP. Glad I didn't buy a book with a bunch of pre-designated holes that would remain empty.

Looks like I am just getting the reverse proof set this year. Not sure what I will do to fill my regular proof holes. Maybe find one of these business strikes at the fall coin show. Mint does not matter in a Dansco.

I'll get one each of the P&D business strikes though my annual ebay subscription. It might be the only modern series I continue collecting, given the Mint's absurd price increases.

For what it is worth, the regular proof set was still showing as an active subscription last week. It has disappeared now.
