🚀🚨Innovation That Fed the World: Iowa’s American Innovation $1 Coin
Not every breakthrough makes noise. Some change the world without ever asking for attention.
The Iowa American Innovation $1 Coin honors Dr. Norman Borlaug, the scientist whose work with wheat didn’t just improve crops it helped prevent famine. Long before technology buzzwords, his innovation was simple and urgent: grow food that survives.
The coin’s reverse shows Borlaug with wheat in hand. No symbols, no exaggeration just the work that mattered. The front carries the Statue of Liberty, along with a gear marking innovation. In 2026, a small Liberty Bell “250” is added, quietly marking America’s 250th year.
Minted in Philadelphia and Denver, this is the first American Innovation coin of 2026, available in rolls and bags.
Real innovation doesn’t shout.
It feeds people.
