The U.S. Mint has unveiled the design for a new $1 commemorative coin honoring Apple co-founder and former CEO, Steve Jobs. The coin features a young Jobs in his iconic turtleneck, sitting cross-legged against a backdrop of the California hills.

Make something wonderful.

This powerful phrase, inscribed on the coin, was used by the Jobs estate in 2007 to capture his worldview and legacy. The collectible coin will be available for purchase on the U.S. Mint's website for $13.25 starting next year.

A Tribute to American Innovation

The Steve Jobs coin is part of the American Innovation $1 Coin Program, an initiative launched in 2018 to celebrate innovators from each state. California Governor Gavin Newsom nominated the Apple co-founder, stating that Jobs “embodies a unique brand of innovation.”

Each state has the opportunity to nominate a significant innovation or innovator to be immortalized on a coin.
For comparison, Wisconsin nominated the Cray-1 supercomputer from the mid-1970s for its coin.
