5 Dollars (XXV Olympic Games)

The 1992 $5 Olympic Gold — a sprinter cast in gold to fund Team USA

In 1992 the U.S. Mint struck a small gold coin with a runner frozen mid-stride — and attached a price tag with a purpose. Every one sold sent $35 to the athletes about to compete in Barcelona and Albertville. It is the gold piece in a three-coin Olympic set, and the rarer of its two finishes is the one most people never bought.
