About This Coin
The 2016 Native American Dollar is a United States dollar from the Sacagawea & Native American Dollars 2000 to Date series. In 2016, coins were struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints with a combined mintage of 5.9 million. The obverse features Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, on her back; the reverse changes every year to honor a Native American contribution. The 2016 Native American Dollar honors Native American code talkers from both World Wars who used their tribal languages to transmit unbreakable military communications. The reverse shows two military helmets with two feathers forming a "V" for victory. Struck in manganese brass (77% copper, 12% zinc, 7% manganese, 4% nickel) bonded to a pure copper core, weighing 8.1 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Across its variants, estimated values range from $1 to $30 depending on mint mark, grade, and strike type. Designed by Glenna Goodacre/Thomas D. Rogers Sr..
