Comment
To celebrate the 200th anniversary of its founding, the 2000 Library of Congress Silver Dollar was issued by the United States Mint. The same commemorative coin program also included the issuance of a gold and platinum bimetallic coin, which today commands more interest than the silver dollar.The Library of Congress Silver Dollars were produced at the Philadelphia Mint and carry the “P” mintmark on the reverse. The coins were sold individually in proof or uncirculated versions, available from April 24, 2000, to December 31, 2000. The maximum authorized mintage for the coins was 500,000 across both options. Final sales reached just over half this level.

Interesting fact
The Library of Congress silver dollar coin has a unique feature - it includes a built-in magnifying glass. The coin's reverse side features an image of the Library of Congress's Great Hall, and if you look closely, you'll notice that the dome of the building is actually a small magnifying glass. This was done to symbolize the importance of knowledge and learning, and to represent the Library of Congress's mission to make knowledge accessible to all.
