2027 Working Dogs Commemorative Coin Program
The 2027 Working Dogs Commemorative Coin Program, authorized by Public Law 118-109, directs the U.S. Mint to produce gold, silver, and clad coins honoring the service of working dogs in detection, military, therapy, and assistance roles. Coins will be issued in 2027, with surcharges benefiting America's VetDogs to support service dog training for veterans and first responders.

We have a potential low mintage winner here unless the pet lovers show up and buy.

This is a neat commemorative. If the half dollar gets produced in enough quantities (and is inexpensive enough) I can see some people using it for a dog collar.

What, no proposed design with a beagle? The ‘beagle brigade’ has done a great and important job at US ports of entry for years in detecting contraband agricultural products. My wife used to work with some of the beagle brigade trainers years ago so we were hoping one of the coins would feature one of those cute, hard working pups!

I don't know if some of the mint artists quit or were let go but there seems to be less designs in this months reviews compared to the past.

Need to bring in a canine expert to help with a design.

Hmm... If there's a good design of a good boy, then it might end up in my Prime Number Set next year.

Need a coin that shows action. Maybe a hologram coin that shows a police dog taking down a perp.

Belgian Tervuren and Belgian Malinois would be ideal.3 -

Hmm, I am seeing no human representation other than what appears to be caucasian males: These will need to be "re-thunk."
