Steve Jobs Honored On New 2026 US Coin Celebrating Innovation
BrianFagioli writes: The United States Mint is honoring Steve Jobs and Apple with a new coin for 2026. Part of the American Innovation $1 Coin Program, California's entry depicts a young Jobs seated before rolling northern California hills, accompanied by the words "Make Something Wonderful." The reflective design, created by Elana Hagler and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill, captures how Jobs's surroundings and vision shaped Apple's mission to make technology feel intuitive and human.
The 2026 series also celebrates Dr. Norman Borlaug for Iowa, the Cray-1 supercomputer for Wisconsin, and mobile refrigeration for Minnesota. The obverse of all coins features the Statue of Liberty and a special Liberty Bell mark commemorating the nation's Semiquincentennial. The Steve Jobs coin stands out as one of the few times the U.S. Mint has recognized a modern tech innovator, and some collectors are already calling it one of the most exciting releases in years.
