The United States Mint will open sales for rolls and bags containing the second American Innovation Dollar Coin of 2025 on April 8 at noon EDT.
The reverse design of the coins in these products recognizes the innovation of the auto assembly line.
“I am pleased to announce the release of the American Innovation Dollar Coin for my home state of Michigan,” said Kristie McNally, Acting Director of the Mint. “The assembly line revolutionized the auto industry and changed the business and manufacturing world. It also influenced shipbuilding and aircraft production during World War II. We are honored to celebrate this major achievement with this coin.”
“Michigan is the birthplace of innovation and hard workers,” said Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. “From pioneering the assembly line to being the leader in manufacturing, Michigan has always been a beacon of ingenuity. But what truly makes Michigan special is how we’ve used that innovation to grow the middle class and create opportunities for working-class families. This coin is a tribute to Michigan’s spirit–a celebration of hard work, creativity, and the drive to build something better for generations to come.”
The following packaging options from the Mint’s facilities at Philadelphia and Denver will be available:

Introduced in 2018, the American Innovation $1 Coin Program is a multi-year series, featuring distinctive reverse designs that pay homage to America’s ingenuity and celebrate the pioneering efforts of individuals or groups from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories.
The Michigan American Innovation Dollar reverse features a 1930s-era assembly line where a team of auto workers lowers an automobile cab into place. Included inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “MICHIGAN,” and “AUTO ASSEMBLY LINE.” United States Mint Medallic Artist John P. McGraw sculpted, and Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) Designer Ron Sanders designed, the image.
The obverse design of all coins in the American Innovation $1 Coin Program features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.” The design also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation. Mint AIP Designer Justin Kunz created the design, which Mint Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill sculpted.
Incused on the coin’s edge are “2025,” the mintmark (“P” or “D”), and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
American Innovation $1 Coins are included in the Mint’s Product Subscription Program.
