1 Dollar (Atlanta Olympics - Paralympics)

The 1996 Paralympic Silver Dollar

In 1996 the US Mint flooded the country with Olympic coins — sixteen designs, gold and silver, to bankroll the Atlanta Games. Collectors were exhausted by it, and they let one of the best coins slip past them. The Paralympic dollar — a wheelchair athlete, arms raised, the word SPIRIT in Braille — sold so poorly that its uncirculated version is now one of the scarcest US commemoratives of the modern era.
