Comment

The 1994 Women in Military Service Memorial Silver Dollar was issued for the construction of a new memorial complex for women in military service. This was one of three programs issued for military veteran themed memorials. The other programs were for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Prisoner of War Memorial.

The Women in Military Service Silver Dollars were produced at the Philadelphia Mint in proof version and at the West Point Mint in uncirculated version. The coins were offered for sale individually or as part of a three-coin proof or three-coin uncirculated set of all the memorial themed silver dollars. The sales of this coin fared slightly better than the other two, with a combined mintage above 300,000.
