Commentary

Sacagawea ou Sakakawea (1787-1812) était une amérindienne de la tribu des Shoshones. Elle fut l'interprète et la guide de l'expédition Lewis et Clark.
Après l’échec du Dollar Susan B. Anthony, l’US mint lance ce nouveau type. De couleur dorée, cette monnaie est facilement identifiable. Cependant, la surface s’altère assez rapidement et encore une fois cette monnaie fut un échec. A noter que suite à la dollarisation de la monnaie en Équateur, le dollar Sacagawea circule de façon courante dans ce pays..
Sacagawea or Sakakawea (1787-1812) was a Native American woman from the Shoshone tribe. She was the interpreter and guide for the Lewis and Clark expedition. After the failure of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar, the US Mint launched this new type. Gold in color, this coin is easily identifiable. However, the surface deteriorates fairly quickly, and once again, this coin was a failure. Note that following the dollarization of the coin in Ecuador, the Sacagawea dollar is now widely circulated in that country.
