  • Minting America: Coinage and the Contestation of American Identity, 1775-1800
    ABSTRACT MINTING AMERICA: COINAGE AND THE CONTESTATION OF AMERICAN IDENTITY, 1775-1800 by James Patrick Ambuske “Minting America” investigates the ideological and culture links between American identity and national coinage in the wake of the American Revolution. In the Confederation period and in the Early Republic, Americans contested the creation of a national mint to produce coins. The catastrophic failure of the paper money issued by the Continental Congress during the War for Independence inspired an ideological debate in which Americans considered the broader implications of a national coinage. More than a means to conduct commerce, many citizens of the new nation saw coins as tangible representations of sovereignty and as a mechanism to convey the principles of the Revolution to future generations. They contested the physical symbolism as well as the rhetorical iconology of these early national coins. Debating the stories that coinage told helped Americans in this period shape the contours of a national identity.

  • The Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Coin Project
    Take Action Now: The Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Coin Project Background Girl Scouts aims to inspire girls to be leaders in their own lives by building the courage, confidence, and character to raise their voices and be advocates of issues and ideas important to them. The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. The Women's History and Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Quarter Dollar Coin Program Act (H.R. 1923, S. 2427) was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 27, 2019, by Representatives Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH). Identical legislation was introduced in the Senate on August 1, 2019, by Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Deb Fischer (R-NE). The legislation would authorize a series of quarters to be minted in honor of women’s history and suffrage. The Women’s History and Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Quarter Dollar Coin Program Act would create a new series of commemorative circulating coins that highlight women’s suffragists and other trailblazers from the District of Columbia and each state and territory in the United States. States would help choose the women and accomplishments they wish to recognize by working with community groups and organizations like Girl Scout councils. Take Action! You can make a difference and recognize the importance of women’s suffrage and contributions in U.S. history. Use your voice to speak out in support of the Women's History and Nineteenth Amendment

  • Quarter and Half Dollar Coins: History and Proposed Designs
    December 19, 2019 Quarter and Half Dollar Coins: History and Proposed Designs The Secretary of the Treasury, through the U.S. Mint, is Figure 2. Bicentennial Quarter and Half Dollar, 1976 statutorily required to issue specific denominations of circulating coins (31 U.S.C. §5112). Currently, the United States has six circulating coins—dollar, half dollar, quarter dollar, dime, nickel, and penny. All coinage is also required to have certain design elements, including specific words such as “Liberty,” or “E Pluribus Unum.” The quarter dollar has been redesigned twice in recent years (1997 and 2008), while the half dollar was last redesigned in 1964. Quarter Dollar Designs The first quarters were issued in 1796 and depicted Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. Since then, the quarter dollar has been redesigned four times: in 1932 to place President Washington on the obverse, in 1976 for the Bicentennial of the United States, in 1997 when the 50-state quarter program was authorized, and in 2008 when the America the Beautiful program was authorized. Washington Quarter In March 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a law (46 Stat. 1523) to change the design of the quarter dollar coin to commemorate “the two hundredth anniversary of the birth Source: U.S. Mint, “1976 Bicentennial Coins,” at of George Washington.” The law required a portrait of https://www.usmint.gov/learn/kids/library/bicentennial-coins. George Washington on the obverse and “appropriate devices on the reverse….” The finished coin (as seen in 50 State Quarters Figure 1) had a “standard eagle” design on the reverse.

  • Treasury and Federal Reserve Foreign Exchange Operations
    TREASURY AND FEDERAL RESERVE FOREIGN EXCHANGE OPERATIONS April – June 2021 During the second quarter of 2021, the U.S. dollar, as measured by the Federal Reserve Board’s broad trade-weighted dollar index, depreciated 1.1 percent on net amid declining U.S. yields and improved global growth and vaccination prospects. The resultant narrowing in interest rate differentials between the United States and its trading partners was associated with a steady depreciation of the U.S. dollar over most of the quarter. The dollar’s net depreciation was limited, however, as a late-quarter increase in short-end U.S. rates following the June meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee supported the dollar against both G10 and emerging market currencies. On a bilateral basis, the U.S. dollar depreciated 2.4 percent against the Mexican peso, 1.3 percent against the Canadian dollar, 1.1 percent against the euro, and 0.4 percent against the British pound. In contrast, the U.S. dollar appreciated 0.4 percent against the Japanese yen. The Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury did not intervene in foreign exchange markets during the quarter.
