    Caesar Rodney is the only horse commemorated on U.S. coinage. He was the father of thoroughbreds of our country—props to Delaware for that.

    There was also a silver half dollar issued in 1982 to commemorate George Washington's horse.

    The horse was born in 1732?

    The 1925 Stone Mountain half commemoratives both Robert E. Lee's horse and Stonewall Jackson's horse.

    Given the fact that they were all form one production run and tended to show up as change from cigarette vending machines, there probably was a roll or two of them in 1955.
