Overview
- The U.S. Mint opened sales Tuesday on its website for 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags, with options minted in Denver or Philadelphia.
- Prices are $61 for a roll and $154.50 for a bag, and orders are limited to 10 of each product per household.
- The total mintage for this release is 25,950 coins, which signals a short run aimed at collectors rather than circulation.
- The design shows a young Steve Jobs before oak-covered Northern California hills with the inscriptions “United States of America,” “California,” “Steve Jobs,” and “Make Something Wonderful,” a line from a 2007 internal talk, designed by Elana Hagler and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill.
- Gov. Gavin Newsom recommended Jobs for California, the Treasury Secretary approved the final design, and Mint Director Paul Hollis praised Jobs as a transformative innovator.
