New $1 US coins to feature Steve Jobs and Cray-1 supercomputer — US Mint's 2026 American Innovation Program to memorialize computing history
The US Mint's 2026 American Innovation Program will feature $1 coins honoring computing history icons Steve Jobs and the Cray-1 supercomputer. California's coin showcases Jobs in a northern California landscape, reflecting his influence on personal computing and Apple's success. Wisconsin's coin pays tribute to the Cray-1 supercomputer, known for its innovation and speed in the 1970s and 1980s. The program will also include coins representing Iowa's Norman Borlaug and Minnesota's mobile refrigeration invention. This initiative aims to highlight significant innovations from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and US territories by 2032.
