The release of the $5 gold coin, $1 silver coin and a half-dollar coin comes as efforts to have Harriet Tubman’s image replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill appear to be stalled. The coins honor the bicentennial of Tubman’s birth.
After a one-year hiatus from issuing new commemoratives, the United States Mint kicks off the new year with six coins available for order as part of the 2024 Harriet Tubman Commemorative Coin Program. The bicentennial of Harriet Tubman's birth is celebrated on each of the new coins, recounting her life story in three distinct phases.
