2025 P & D Innovation Dollar 8 Coin Set Brilliant Uncirculated

Product Description

The first 2025 Arkansas Innovation Dollar honors Raye Montague, an Arkansas native and the pioneering engineer who designed the U.S. Navy's Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate. She is recognized as the first person to use a computer to create a naval ship design, completing the initial draft for the class in approximately 19 hours.

The Michigan Innovation dollar pays tribute to the auto assembly line. In 1913, Henry Ford revolutionized the fledgling American auto industry by building the first moving assembly line at his Highland Park plant in Michigan. Ford was able to efficiently mass-produce the Model T, lowering production costs and passing the savings to consumers. By 1925, a brand new Tin Lizzie could be purchased for just $260; at 68% less than its original 1908 price tag, middle-class Americans could afford to own an automobile.

The 2025 Florida Innovation dollar honors Kennedy Space Center. Shown is an image of a NASA space shuttle lifting off from Launch Complex 39. Smoke from the solid rocket boosters fills the lower edges of the design with stars in the background. Kristie McNally, the Mint's Acting Director said, "For more than 60 years, NASA's Kennedy Space Center has assembled, researched, launched, and landed spacecraft. The Space Shuttle, officially known as the Space Transportation System, remains one of the most iconic and influential spacecrafts in history. As the world's first reusable spacecraft, it played a pivotal role in advancing space exploration. We are honored to celebrate this major achievement."

The final Texas Innovation dollar of 2025 celebrates the Lone Star State and its significant presence in the U.S. space program. The design features an American astronaut conducting a spacewalk outside the International Space Station. The image represents the culmination of the Mission Control Center's economic, logistical, and intellectual support for NASA's human space program, as well as its support of astronauts from the many countries that participate in the International Space Station program.
