The Mint web site now lists December 14th as the date when bags and rolls of the 2018 American Innovation $1 Introductory coin will become available.

"The obverse design features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "$1." The reverse design features George Washington's signature and the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "AMERICAN INNOVATORS," and "SIGNED FIRST PATENT." The stylized gears represent industry and innovation. The year of minting, mint mark, and inscription "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are incused on the edge of the coin."

I wonder whether this will be the only way to get them, or if they'll also be added to sets next year as well.

Ok...color me confused. They are releasing a new $1 coin that will only be available in rolls and bags? Really? Not in a set?

Kinda weird.....

Edited to add: if this is the ONLY way these will be available then this might be interesting after all....

Please inform me if otherwise but I see no other release of this coin anywhere

The Act also authorizes a 2018 introductory coin which will be minted and issued in the latter part of this calendar year. The introductory coin will bear an obverse common to all coins in the program. It will consist of a likeness of the Statue of Liberty, and the inscriptions of "$1" and "In God We Trust." The reverse of the introductory coin will be inscribed with "United States of America" and "American Innovators," and it will include a representation of President George Washington's signature on the first U.S. patent. The inscription of the year of minting or issuance, mint mark, and "E Pluribus Unum" will be edge-incused into all coins.

All things considered, I'm surprised this is coming out at all. Making it available in any kind of set would require more packaging and processing than there's time for this year. They could have done some of that in preparation for the eventual design but with so much negative press and relative lack of consumer demand, I don't blame them for just doing the minimum.

Maybe it will be included in some sets next year, but they'd have to use coins that they'd have minted this year, which also means they'd have to be stored and made available to these sets -- so I wouldn't count on it.
