 These coins, mandated by Public Law 110-82 (Sep 20, 2007), were first minted in 2009 due to this clause Quote:
DELAYED DATE.— If the date of the enactment of the Native American $1 Coin Act is after August 25, 2007, subparagraph (A) shall be applied by substituting '2009' for '2008'. So, there are now 15 years of reverse designs as shown above. The commemorative topics and designs are chosen by the Secretary of the Treasury in consultation with many different organizations and bodies as mandated by PL 110-82. There are still several million of these dollars minted annually (sold by the US Mint in rolls, bags, boxes, mint and proof sets) even though the clause in PL 110-82 that mandated Quote:
QUANTITY. — The number of $1 coins minted and issued in a year with the Sacagawea-design on the obverse shall be not less than 20 percent of the total number of $1 coins minted and issued in such year. doesn't come into play anymore since the Presidential dollars ended. PL 110-82 listed 7 examples of events/individuals that could be commemorated. Four have been (Cherokee written language, Jim Thorpe, Ely Parker and Code Talkers). Will future designs depict the other three (Iroquois Confederacy, Wampanoag Chief Massasoit, Pueblo Revolt)? Whether you collect the coins or not, and regardless of the topic, what do you think of the designs?

From its start, I've thought that the designs on the coins of this topical/thematic series were generally well-chosen and nicely-executed. I'm not a fan of this year's (2023's) design, but every series has to have at least one "clunker."  Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I have enjoyed the series as well. I disagree about the 2023 design though. I actually like it.  |

I like the series and the designs. Each year I buy a set of rolls.
My 4yo daughter had just started ballet this year, so the Tallchief design had extra significance for me.

I like this series and get at least one of the rolls each year. The 2012 has long been my favorite, followed by 2014 and 2016. With the 2016 I also added the bronze medals (before the price increase) for the Code Talker tribes connected to WWI. I like the tie in of the 2019 to the Apollo anniversary program. While well down on my list of favorite designs, this year's was neat in that Maria Tallchief was on the dollar coin and one of the American Women's quarters. Has anyone else been on two different denomination coins in a single year?

I have not paid any attention to this series - and in general modern commemorative coins.
Appreciate you showing that collage of the designs, there are a few there that I could enjoy.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I agree with commems that the series is nicely executed, but I also like the 2023 coin as well, although interesting that Tallchief was honored concurrently on the Native American dollar and the American Women's quarters for 2023. Seemed like overkill. I have collected the proofs of this series as an extension of the Sacagawea dollars I started before. |

My favorite issue is the Delaware Treaty - mainly because it looks like the tortoise is howling along with the wolf (or coyote?), but the turkey is having none of it.

I too like the collage. I carried a 2009 until several years ago when it fell from my pocket somewhere. I also like the 2023 Dancer since our granddaughter is a dancer. I had shown her the articles in Coin World about both the quarter and the dollar. I've given her one of each of these but like the dollar better. |

I am building a collection of graded proofs for this series, all PF-70 UC. Thus far I have all the 2000-2008, 2009, 2013, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025. I am not worrying about whether the series will end or not, that is beyond my control, thankfully.

I like the Sacagawea and Native American $1 coins. I have the D & P coins from every year from 2000 - 2022, except 2015-P, which got missed somewhere along the line. My source then dried up, so I'm missing any later coins.
Not sure I have a favourite, I like them all, but if I had to pick one, then I would choose 2013, Treaty with the Delawares.
