Interesting fact
The Susan B. Anthony Dollar was the first coin to feature a woman, Susan B. Anthony, on a United States coin. It was designed by sculptor Glenna Goodacre and was minted in 1999 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a collector's item. The coin was made of nickel brass, which is an alloy of 73% copper, 25% zinc, and 2% nickel. This coin is a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history, and it serves as a symbol of the progress made towards gender equality in the United States.
