½ Dollar (American Legion 100th Anniversary)

The American Legion 100th Anniversary Half Dollar

In 2019 the U.S. Mint struck a half dollar for an organization that began the way many great American things do — improbably, far from home. The American Legion was dreamed up by World War I soldiers in Paris in 1919. A century later, two children on a coin recite the Pledge of Allegiance to honor them.
