The 2018 Native American Dollar is a United States dollar from the Sacagawea & Native American Dollars 2000 to Date series — 19th of 27 years in the series. In 2018, coins were struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints with a combined mintage of 6.6 million.

The obverse features Sacagawea carrying her infant son Jean Baptiste Crapeau on her back and the reverse displays rotating designs honoring Native American contributions to the United States. The 2018 Native American Dollar honors Jim Thorpe (Wa-Tho-Huk) of the Sac and Fox Nation, a legendary multi-sport athlete who won two Olympic gold medals in the 1912 pentathlon and decathlon. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Struck in 77% copper, 12% zinc, 1% other over a pure copper core, weighing 8.1 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Struck one year before the 2019 key date, the lowest-mintage regular issue in the series. Across its variants, estimated values range from $1 to $10 depending on mint mark, grade, and strike type. A notable auction result reached $3.5K in MS68 grade at eBay. Designed by Glenna Goodacre/Micahel Gaudioso.
