2006-D Satin Finish Sacagawea Dollar
The 2006 Sacagawea Dollar was once again only produced by the United States Mint in options available to coin collectors. The golden dollar coins were not produced for regular circulation. The US Mint sold the dollar coins in bags and rolls, and included different versions of the coins in the annual Proof Set and Uncirculated Mint Set.
Starting on February 15, 2006, the US Mint sold 25-coin rolls of 2006 Sacagawea Dollars from either the Philadelphia or Denver Mint for $35.50 per roll. Bags containing 250 coins were also offered from each mint, priced at $347.00 per bag. Later in the year, a proof version of the coin was released in the 2006 Proof Set. Satin Finish versions from each Mint were also produced for the 2006 Mint Set. This created a total of five different versions of the coin for the year.
The mintages for the coins were up from the prior year. Oddly, the Philadelphia Mint produced substantially more coins than the Denver Mint.
