Commemorative coins – i.e., coins minted to memorialize a person, place or historic event – have actually been issued since the days of the ancient Greeks and Romans. In fact, most U.S. coins are commemorative coins in their style; e.g., the Lincoln cent memorializes President Abraham Lincoln, and even commemorates the Lincoln Memorial itself! In any case, commemorative coins of all nations provide a record of facts about the history of those countries.
Commemorative coins issued by the United States are usually divided into two groups: old commemorative coins – beginning in 1892, and modern commemorative coins – beginning in the 1980s. It would be impossible to list even a small fraction of the commemorative coins issued by the United States alone on this page. The few commemorative coins listed here are just a sample of the coins that Midwest Mint is currently purchasing.
