Struck in circulating quality at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, the coins are available in 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags.
"For more than 60 years, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center has assembled, researched, launched, and landed spacecraft," said Kristie McNally, the Mint’s Acting Director. "The Space Shuttle, officially known as the Space Transportation System, remains one of the most iconic and influential spacecrafts in history. As the world’s first reusable spacecraft, it played a pivotal role in advancing space exploration."
Design for the Florida Innovation Dollar
On the dollar’s reverse (tails) side, the Space Shuttle is depicted lifting off from Launch Complex 39 at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. Smoke from the solid rocket boosters billows below and to the sides, with stars appearing above. The design was created by U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program artist Ron Sanders and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Eric David Custer. Reverse inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "FLORIDA."

The obverse (heads) side features the Statue of Liberty, as seen on all coins in the program. The image was designed by Justin Kunz and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill. Obverse inscriptions read "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "$1," and a stylized gear privy mark also appears.

Incused edge inscriptions include the year of minting, the mint mark, and the phrase "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
Prices, Ordering and Product Limits
Florida Innovation dollars are available in 25-coin rolls priced at $36.25 and 100-coin bags at $123.50.
They can be ordered through the U.S. Mint’s online store for American Innovation products.
Production is limited to 9,100 rolls from the Philadelphia Mint and 8,050 from the Denver Mint, along with 3,650 bags from Philadelphia and 3,450 from Denver. An initial household order limit of 10 per product applies.
American Innovation Dollars for 2025
The Mint’s Innovation series began in 2018 with a single release honoring George Washington’s role in signing the nation’s first U.S. patent. Since then, the U.S. Mint has issued four new coins annually, each recognizing a groundbreaking innovation from a different U.S. state. Once complete, the program will feature designs representing all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

2025 Innovation dollars include:
- Arkansas $1 Coin – Honoring Raye Montague and her computer-designed ship
- Michigan $1 Coin – Highlighting Ransom Olds’ assembly line concept
- Florida $1 Coin – Celebrating the Space Shuttle program
- Texas $1 Coin – Recognizing NASA’s Mission Control at Houston’s Johnson Space Center
In addition to rolls and bags, Innovation $1 coins are also featured in various other U.S. Mint numismatic products, including proof and reverse proof sets.
Although we’ve seen declining sales on American Innovation $1 products since its inception in 2018, this years proof set and possibly reverse proof sets should garner some attention. Beware, as with a reduced Product/Mintage limit of just 57,816, the American Innovation Proof Sets could maybe see a “boost” in sales due to the strong themes/designs for 2025. Yes, I’m aware that the 2024 AI $1 Proof sets have only managed to sell 63,728 of a possible 99,792 and the 2023 AI Proof sets have only managed 60,520 sets out of a possible 80,055. 2024 saw a small boost in sales… Read more »

Cali I’ve tried to capture current year JFKs lately. Not much luck, I even ordered a box, requested new ones $250…. I got mixed coins, some 24s but no full,rollls. I did get 11 clad, not enuf to make a living.
indeed I am debating buying the Shuttle/Fl coin for gifts, cool design. As I passed on Saturn V these would fill a need. Predict sellout in 11 days bags….rolls 22…
Now for some Kennedy Half Dollar mintages, years or products that stand out. The 1970 D which was only released in the 1970 Mint Set and not released into circulation. The 1987 P & D for the same reason as 1970 D just mentioned. The 1998 S Silver Matte Finish contained in the “Kennedy Collectors Set”, which has an approximate mintage of 62,000 and consisted of an “uncirculated Robert F. Kennedy Silver Dollar and a Matte Specimen 1998-S Kennedy Silver Half Dollar”. The years 2002-2012 which mintages ranged from 1.7-3.8 million each of P & D. Then the year 2014,… Read more »
Guru,
“Gents, thank you for the feedback on the Kennedy Unc set finish. I asked as I was wondering if I should pick up the Kennedy two roll set or not. Decisions decisions.”
24 hours ago there were 457 sets left. Now there is just over 200 sets left.
Friday night they will be gone imo.
PS: The Ai Florida/Shuttle 25-Coin Roll “D” has just over 1000 rolls left. Thurs noon there were 8000 rolls. Those will be gone Friday night too imo…
PSS: Yes, I bought both the Kennedy, and FL rolls — I’m a Sucker!
Yes, I bought the two coin Kennedy set. Thank you for the prompt to do so. Probably would have forgot all about it later today.
Now then, back to a subject that didn’t go unnoticed, no sir…
“The Half Eagle lands tomorrow. My feathers are all aflutter.”
I’m having sympathy butterflies REB, and I can’t take it anymore!
Spill the beans Mr….
My wife and I took pictures and tried to post them for an hour. To save our marriage, her phone, and my coins, we decided to give up. There was a picture of the coin in the wood box with black packing confetti and a note from the president of RCW. There was a picture of the boxed coin with the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins hardcover book that was sent with it. There were pictures of the obverses and reverses of the first and last coins of Dahlonega and Charlotte. I guess you’ll have to use your imagination and take… Read more »
Save the marriage!!! That is priority number 1. Ask a grandkid or neighbor kid to post the picture. They take to technology amazingly fast. All the same, we did get some decent looks of the coin before you bought it. Congrats again!!
No worries REB, your description is great, and sorry for the pic problem. Nice touch with the Greatest US Coins book from RCW.
I remember your coin, it qualifies as a Rarity, it’s in great shape, with original color. Congrats!

PS: How did they ship the coin? USPS Express, FedEx Express?
And, did GC finally get your Columbia Commems to you?
Ocular Proof or Bust.
I’ve used my flat bed scanner in the past to image my coins and it does a much better job than hand photos. Just place a piece of white or black paper behind the coin and close the lid. Also, set the scanner to “Scan from Glass.” Finally, the image file must in the JPEG format and less than 2.0 MBytes in size to post here on the Coin News net. I use “Paint” to crop down the image when necessary.
RCW shipped FedEx. I had to sign and show the driver’s license, which I was happy to do. I got an email from GC today. It’s supposed to be a two-day ship. I should have them no later than early next week.
Great stuff Reb, my wife’s orders like a floor trader. ….. SELL…..SELL…Sell….. hmmm
I’m still looking for a 55/55 red Au or hidden proof..hahahaha
I got a bag to use as tips. Some peoples’ faces light up when they get them. But then one waitress said “I don’t know if we accept these.”
I use them and $2 bills. Love when they call the manager at Taco Bell.. is that$5?
The ATM gave me series 1981 $20 small portrait Jackson. I have not been able to get rid of it. None of the self check-out machine recognize it. That was before they had the security thread and microprinting. I’m not sure a cashier will know what it is.
