Appearing on the dollars’ reverse (tails side) is a design recognizing the Gerber Variable Scale. Joseph Gerber of Connecticut conceived the device using the elastic waistband of his pajamas when he was a junior in college. The scale provides quick calculations for replotting lines and curves of data.
The Connecticut coins are issued as part of the U.S. Mint’s American Innovation™ $1 Coin Program. These bags and rolls follow an individual reverse proof Connecticut Innovation dollar which was released on July 21.
Designs for Connecticut American Innovation Dollar
The design showcased on the reverse of each coin depicts the Gerber Variable Scale being used to increase a geometric shape by 200%. The resulting shape resembles the State of Connecticut.
U.S. Mint artist Richard Masters created the design and it was sculpted by Renata Gordon. Inscriptions on the reverse include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "GERBER VARIABLE SCALE" and "CONNECTICUT."
All program coins bear the same obverse (heads side) image of the Statue of Liberty as designed by Justin Kunz and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill. Obverse inscriptions read: "$1" and "IN GOD WE TRUST."
2020 dollar obverses also feature a small privy mark of a stylized gear that is different from the one used for 2019-dated dollars.
Edge inscriptions include "2020" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM." Mintmarks of "P" or "D" indicate the coin’s production at either the Philadelphia or Denver Mints.
Price and Ordering
The coin rolls are $34.50 apiece while the bags are priced $117.50 each. Order them from the U.S. Mint’s online store for American Innovation products.

It’s so beautiful isn’t it!! If they make a dollar no one sees in the public can you spend them later? I suspect a low level ca$hier will call [police it’s a FAKE! With new mint pricing likely 2021 will be $75 a roll….and no happy ending for YOU
shame of American and US mint . Making Dollar coins but not use it , no Marketing and using Taxpayers money for store it . Did these coins contain Gold or silver . ? Dollar Coins is Violation of Constitution . The mint should give $coins to Bank ,and let bank to use it and spend it, Not selling it for premium by US Mints
Had something like that happen years ago with a travelers check.
Now when I use a dollar coin & its questioned I just tell them to Google it.
Notice another price increase by the Mint on these circulating-quality coins from the 2019 prices of $32.95-$111.95.
