I hope one day we get an MLK coin.


Efforts have been made:

- What If? 1968 Martin Luther King, Jr.
- What If? 2003 Martin Luther King, Jr.

I think 2029 - the 100th Anniversary of MLK's birth - is the next best opportunity.

The 2007 Little Rock Central High School Desegregation Silver Dollar was struck "in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the desegregation of the Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas." The desegregation came via nine African-American students who voluntarily agreed to integrate the High School in the face of significant personal hardship and sacrifice. The students' first full day in school was September 25, 1957.

Years earlier, in 1998, the US Congress awarded a Congressional Gold Medal to each of the "Little Rock Nine" students; bronze duplicates were struck and made available to the general public.

"Harriet Tubman's life is the embodiment of the relentless pursuit of justice and equity. After escaping slavery herself, she risked her life on over a dozen trips to lead 70 enslaved people to freedom as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, she served as a nurse, Union spy and the first woman to lead an armed military expedition during the war, freeing over 700 enslaved people during the Combahee River raid. Her legacy is one of courage and determination." (National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, Press Release.)

Surcharges collected from sales of the 2024 Harriet Tubman Birth Bicentennial Gold Half Eagle, Silver Dollar and Copper-Nickel (CuNi) Clad Half Dollar commemorative coins were designated to support "the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and The Harriet Tubman Home, Inc. in Auburn, New York, for the purpose of accomplishing and advancing their missions." (Public Law 117-163)

In March 2025, bills were introduced in the US Senate and US House of Representatives that call for Tubman to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill beginning in 2031. The prognosis for success for each of the bills is currently poor, but time will tell!
