2021 Native American Dollars

Panda4456

Does anyone know what the design on the next Native American dollar will look like? According to the mint’s schedule, it should be releasing next month but there is no photo on the mint’s website. Anyone know what is going on here?

Anyone know how long this series will last?

Perhaps no one cares. These are just another made for collector issue.

Aren’t there coin collectors on this website though? Lol

I don't believe the Native American dollar program has an end date. The theme for this years coin is 'Native Americans in the Armed Forces'. Here is an article showing the CCAC recommendations for the 2021 and 2022 designs which I assume the mint is going with: https://coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/ccac-selected-reverses-for-2021-and-2022-sac-dollars.html#:~:text=For%20the%202021%20Native%20American%20dollar,%20some%20common,warriors,%20military%20vehicles%20and%20equipment,%20and%20eagle%20feathers.

That 2022 one looks like Kevin Costner, from "Dances With Wolves" - - before he abandoned his commission in the army/cavalry..........

Those are pretty ugly designs!

One can only hope some of those giant feathers will have extra detailed feathers...

I like them also.

I think most of the designs have been pretty good, but like with many modern issues, some could have benefited with more relief in striking, like 2013’s Treaty with the Delawares, which could have been a great looking coin with more definition. Also, with 14 designs and counting, it is interesting that as big a role as the bison played in many Indian nations, no ‘buffalo’ has been featured on the dollar yet.
