2010 Sacagawea Dollar

The 2010 Sacagawea Dollar will be the second year that the traditional obverse is paired with a new reverse design created to celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of Native Americans. Officially, the series has been referred to as Native American Dollar starting with the prior year's release.

The reverse design of the coin features the Hiawatha Belt, surrounding a bundle of five arrows. The belt is a visual record of the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Confederacy. The symbols on the belt and the arrows represent the five Nations of the Confederacy, Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca. Inscriptions indicate the theme of the reverse "Haudenosaunee" and "Great Law of Peace". The reverse was designed by Thomas Cleveland.

The obverse of the coin continues to depict Sacagawea and child with a modification to the inscriptions. The date and mint mark, which previously appear to the right of the portrait, have been moved to the edge of the coin. The obverse was originally designed by Glenna Goodacre.

The 2010 Sacagawea Dollar will be issued for circulation. By law, the total dollar coin production of the United States Mint must be at least 20% comprised of the Sacagawea or Native American Dollars. The remaining production will take place for the Presidential Dollar series, which will also be issued for circulation.
