However, a 2007 law calling for renewed circulation of Sacagawea dollars beginning in 2009, with annually changing reverse designs, omitted authorization to continue striking the existing coins in 2008.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the error was acknowledged, the U.S. Mint assisted Congress in passing a technical amendment to resolve the matter. The amendment allows the minting of Sacagawea dollars in 2008 for numismatic purposes only. No coins will be released for circulation until next year.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your patience while a legislative solution was reached. Littleton Coin Company is hoping to be able to accept orders for the 2008 Sacagawea dollars in late April, and we will provide another update as soon as the U.S. Mint publishes a release date for the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
