One of Alabama’s greatest contributions towards American exploration is featured in the U.S. Mint’s new American Innovation series $1 coin.

The coins, released earlier this month, feature the Alabama-made Saturn V Rocket, developed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville. Behind the image of the Saturn V is the moon and inscriptions “United States of America,” “Saturn V” and Alabama.” The obverse side of the coin features an image of the State of Liberty in profile with the inscription “In God We Trust.”

Incused on the coin’s edge are “2024,” the mint mark, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” Latin for “Out of many, one.”

The Saturn V was used by NASA’s Apollo program in the 1960s and ‘70s, propelling astronauts to the moon and launching the Skylab space station.

In a statement, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said the image captures the spirit of the state and its residents.

“Alabama is a state of innovators, and the Saturn V rocket perfectly exemplifies that. It was Alabamians who helped put man on the moon, and today, we remain committed to ensuring our country is not only on the forefront of space exploration, but innovation in all areas,” Ivey said. “We are proud to now see the Saturn V rocket displayed on this coin and are honored to have Alabama and her people represented in this special, commemorative way.”

The $1 coins, minted in Philadelphia and Denver, are available in 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags. Rolls are $34.50 and bags are $117.50.

The American Innovations series was unveiled by the Mint in 2018 and will eventually include coins from all states. Alabama’s is the second American Innovation coin released this year, following Illinois earlier in January.
