Comment
The Lewis & Clark expedition joint Saint Charles (Missouri) to the Pacific for the first time by land in 1804-06. A key participant to the expedition, the Indian woman Sacagawea, is honored on a 2000 one dollar coin . The Corps of Discovery, a special unit of the army aimed at the exploration of the North West, is on the Missouri quarter dollar .Interesting fact
The 2004 Westward Journey Keelboat nickel features a unique design that was created to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The coin's design depicts a keelboat, which was a type of boat used by the expedition, and includes the inscription "Westward Journey" to further highlight the significance of the expedition. This coin is particularly interesting because it is a circulating commemorative coin, meaning it was designed to be used in everyday transactions, rather than being a collector's item. This makes it a unique and interesting piece of history that you can actually use in your daily life.
