The U.S. Mint Put Steve Jobs on a Dollar Coin and It Vanished Instantly

The U.S. Mint’s latest release in the American Innovation $1 Coin series, featuring Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, debuted yesterday and essentially sold out right away. The California-themed coins were offered in 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags but are now listed as unavailable on the official U.S. Mint website.

The 25-coin rolls were originally priced at $61 US before the stock was depleted. The coin design depicts a young Steve Jobs sitting in front of the rolling hills of Northern California. It includes the inscriptions “Steve Jobs” and “Make Something Wonderful,” a nod to his philosophy on technology and design. We know Jobs was a hardcore yogi.

This release is the third American Innovation coin for 2026 and features a special Liberty Bell privy mark to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Collectors who missed the initial window will likely have to look toward the secondary market such as eBay and will have to pay more. It is expected that these limited-edition rolls and bags will soon appear on sites like Facebook Marketplace, though likely at a big markups over the original retail price.

While the Mint produced thousands of bags and rolls, the high demand for tech-themed collectibles has exhausted the current stock. In other words, you know resellers got their hands on these coins instantly.

For Apple fans in Canada, picking up a commemorative coin with Steve Jobs would be one awesome collectible. Jobs represents everything about Apple where we saw so many ‘surprise and delight’ moments. Let’s hope Apple can make some big innovative products under incoming CEO John Ternus.
