History of Susan B. Anthony Dollar

The treasury department thought that they would be able to remove the paper current for one dollar and it helped to save the larger number of the amount used for the creation of paper currency. These coins also honor for movement started for women’s rights. On October 10, 1978 legislation was passed to issue the Susan B. Anthony Dollar coin. The design of these coins was made by Frank Gasparro. The initial letters of his name are also added to the coins. On this coin also the first time a photo of any woman was added.
