<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinmaster1, post: 966319, member: 26741&quot;]In early 1999, 39 examples of the soon to be released 2000 Sacagawea Dollars were struck, but these coins weren&#039;t that ordinary; they were all struck at the West Point Mint in 22 karat gold as a prelude to the Mint&#039;s eventual offering of a real gold version of the &quot;golden dollar&quot; for collectors. On July 23rd, 1999, 12 of these coins were sent up into orbit with the space shuttle <i>Columbia</i>; these 12 still exist, but the other 27 were melted.</p><p><img src="http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/uspatterns_2116_60074386" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
