Description

The 2022 (D) American Innovation Dollar - Kentucky, Position B, struck at the Denver Mint, is part of the American Innovation Dollars 2018 to Date collection. The U.S. Mint reported 452,625 Kentucky dollars from Denver across both edge orientations; the number struck with Position B lettering is unknown. The obverse features a profile of the Statue of Liberty with a small stylized gear privy mark, and the reverses honor innovations and innovators from each state, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories. This coin honors Kentucky as the birthplace of bluegrass music, a distinctly American genre pioneered by Bill Monroe in the 1940s that blended Appalachian folk traditions with jazz and blues influences. Rhode Island (yacht design — Nathanael Herreshoff), Vermont (snowboarding — Jake Burton Carpenter), Kentucky (bluegrass music), and Tennessee (the Tennessee Valley Authority — transforming rural electrification). Coined at Denver's facility, which transitioned from processing Colorado gold rush metal to full-scale coin production in 1906. Struck in 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese and 2% nickel, weighing 8.1 grams, 26.49 mm in diameter, with a lettered edge. Cataloged as PCGS #908174.
