The Bald Eagle is an important symbol of America.  This year a commemorative has been created in the Bald Eagle's honor.

The purpose of the commemorative issue is threefold: to honor the recovery of the American Bald Eagle, to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, and to recognize the importance as our national symbol.

The Bald Eagle Commemorative Coin Program comprises three coins.  There is a $5 Gold coin which depicts young bald eagles in their habitat.  There is a $1 Silver coin which depicts an eagle in flight.  There is a 50c Clad coin which depicts baby eagles in their nest.

Coins are currently available in a variety of ordering options directly from the US Mint.

Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in north America.  To commemorate its 400th Anniversary in 2007, the US Mint issued commemorative coins.

The program included a $5 Gold Jamestown Commemorative.  This coin features Captain John Smith greeting a Native American on the obverse.  The reverse shows the Jamestown Memorial Church, the only remaining original structure of the colony.

The $1 Silver Jamestown Commemorative features Three Faces of Diversity, representing the three cultures that came together at Jamestown. The reverse features the three ships that brought settlers to the colony.
