Fourth 2021 Innovation Dollar Bags, Rolls
The fourth American Innovation dollar
coin released in 2021 will be available in
bags and rolls from the U.S. Mint Oct. 12.
The coin, representing the state of North
Carolina, recognizes innovations in creat-
ing higher-education opportunities for all.
The University of North Carolina became
the first public university to formally open
when it convened classes in 1795. It was
the nation’s only public university to con-
fer degrees in the 18th century.
The reverse design features a stack of
three textbooks with “FIRST PUBLIC
UNIVERSITY” on the spine of the middle
book. A lamp of knowledge is perched
atop the books, and olive branches curve
around the edge of the design. Additional
inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA” and “NORTH CAROLINA.”
The obverse design features the Statue
of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions
“IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.” It also
includes a privy mark of a stylized gear,
