Symbolic 2019 Dollar Set
Mary Golda Ross, a Native American engineer who helped develop the Agena spacecraft, is featured on the reverse, with the spacecraft lifting off in a plume of smoke in the background. Created by the Emily Damstra and Joseph Menna, the design includes the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “$1.” Sacagawea is depicted on the obverse, as designed by Glenna Goodacre, accompanied by the inscriptions “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.” The coin’s smooth edge is lettered “2019,” “P” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
The one dollar banknote features a serial number starting with “1959,” which corresponds with the first launch date of the Agena spacecraft.
