<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 26552497, member: 4626"]Mintages of Innovation dollars actually are pretty low, relatively. Some collectors are buying them, but not many, and most issues have a mintage of under a million, some under half a million.

I am reminded of someone that posted here once that "a mintage of 2 is still too high, if only one person wants one" lol but still, they are being minted in relatively low numbers, which makes sense for a coin that is not being minted for circulation (even though on rare occasions they still do circulate sometimes) and is only being sold directly to collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve Jobs wasn't perfect, nobody is, but I think it's fair to say that his contributions were a net positive; technology is in a better place today because of what he contributed.
