"The US Mint has revealed the design for a commemorative $1 coin honoring late Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs. The coin features a young Jobs sitting crosslegged in front of a California landscape of rolling hills, the Mint said. Of course, he's wearing a turtleneck. There's also an inscription: "Make something wonderful." The 2007 quote has been used to frame Jobs' worldview and legacy by his estate."
"It will cost $13.25 from the Mint website but you'll have to wait until 2026 to get one. The coin is part of a yearslong project paying tribute to American innovation that started in 2018, and nothing to do with current CEO Tim Cook's fawning overtures to Donald Trump. Each state can nominate its own icon to memorialize. Wisconsin, one of the other states featured in 2026, selected the Cray-1 supercomputer from the mid 1970s."
