"U.S. Mint Unveils Commemorative Harriet Tubman Coins for Historical Tribute"

The US Mint has released a series of commemorative coins to honor the bicentennial of Harriet Tubman's birth, featuring $5 gold coins, $1 silver coins, and half-dollar coins. This marks the first time Tubman has been commemorated on US currency. The designs on the coins reflect different periods of Tubman's life and her contributions to the abolitionist movement and the Civil War. The release coincides with ongoing efforts to feature Tubman on the $20 bill, symbolizing America's growth and democracy. Proceeds from the coin sales will benefit the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Harriet Tubman Home.
