Steve Jobs to Be Featured on U.S. Commemorative $1 Coin in 2026

The fruits of capitulation by Tim Apple.

These might actually be useful if they weren't the same size as the quarter.

An older version would’ve been better,

Agreed, it looks more like Kyle MacLachlan imo...

The Elijah Wood coin

Make'em while USD is still relevant I guess.. BRICS is coming..

They'd have real and lasting value if they were made out of .999 pure gold or silver

Are these just collectibles or will they be legal tender?

All commemorative coins produced by the US Mint are legal tender, though they often cost more than their face value. Regardless of what you pay for this coin, it's a $1-coin.

I’m a Jobs fanboy but this is incredibly offensive and disgusting.

Touchy!

This is fantastic. I will buy one of these coins. Great recognition and congratulations to the Jobs family.

I think they have accidentally been sent a picture of Princess Diana to use.

Yep. A young Lady Di was my first thought.

 

[Arran]

What did he make?

A dent in the universe.

 

[macduke]

I’d get one but the likeness and scene is weird. Pass.

 

[marte91]

Not a fan. True American heroes like Harriett Tubman still haven't gotten any recognition.

So, Two wrongs make a Right?

Would have preferred to see "Think Different" 🤷‍♂️

Think different for the sake of it? That's no different than a politician's campaign slogan "change". Nah, "make something wonderful" has a much deeper and more inspiring and beneficial message. Plus it was from Jobs' heart, not an ad campaign slogan.

 

[BGPL]

I'd pay $13 for it if it showed Jobs belittling someone at Apple because they screwed up his coffee order.

You get a discount if you pay with only these at the Apple Store. /s

Just need to bring in 1,100 of them for an iPhone.
