Native American / Sacagawea Dollar (2000–present)
Introduced in 2000 as a replacement for the unpopular Susan B. Anthony dollar. The golden color (manganese brass clad) was intended to differentiate it from the quarter. Sacagawea with infant Jean Baptiste Charbonneau on the obverse. From 2009 onward the reverse design changes annually, honoring contributions of Native Americans to US history under the Native American $1 Coin Act.
