Interesting fact
The AIM-9 Sidewinder Guided Missile featured on the coin was the first heat-seeking missile used by the United States military, and it has been used by many other countries as well. It was first introduced in 1956 and has been used in numerous military conflicts since then. It's interesting to note that the missile's name "Sidewinder" comes from the way it maneuvers through the air, as it uses its heat-seeking guidance system to track its target.
