The set holds an uncirculated $1 note produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and an enhanced uncirculated 2019 Native American $1 Coin struck at the U.S. Mint facility in Philadelphia. Both dollars are packaged together in a tri-fold presentation folder.
The United States Mint-struck coin, a 2019-P Native American $1 Coin with a special enhanced uncirculated finish, is available only within the set. Produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), the set’s included Series 2017 $1 Federal Reserve note bears a ‘1959’ beginning serial number which correspond to the launch year of the Agena spacecraft that is depicted on the companion coin.
Native American $1 Coins showcase annually changing reverses. This year’s design is spaced-themed, depicting engineer Mary Golda Ross working on aerospace calculations with an Atlas-Agena rocket in the background and an astronaut spacewalking above.
“American Indians have been on the modern frontier of space flight since its infancy. American Indian contributions to the U.S. Space Program culminated in the three spacewalks of John Herrington (Chickasaw) on the International Space Station in 2002,” the U.S. Mint describes. “These and other pioneering achievements date back to the work of Mary Golda Ross (Cherokee), one of the first female American Indian engineers. She helped develop the Agena spacecraft for the Gemini and Apollo Programs.”
The Native American $1 Coin and Currency Set had been absent from the BEP and U.S. Mint product lineups since 2017 following releases in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
Price and Limits
The U.S. Mint sells Native American dollars in other products but those are in different finishes and they are available in higher quantities.

A CoinNews photo of one of those rolls with included coins is shown above. More than 1.5 million of them have sold so far. Today, the U.S. Mint kicked off sales of the 2019 Native American $1 Coin and Currency Set which contains an uncirculated Series 2017 $1 Federal Reserve note and a 2019 Native American Dollar in a special, enhanced uncirculated finish.
