MidHudson News: Purple Heart coin designs proposed
WASHINGTON – Recommended designs for commemorative Purple Heart coins have been proposed to the Secretary of the Treasury and once final designs have been selected, they will be struck at the West Point Mint.
Gold, silver and copper-nickel clad coins will be struck in 2022, said U.S. Mint Communications Director T.V. Johnson.
“About 50,000 gold pieces; 400,000 silver pieces, that is the $1 denomination; and 750,000 of the copper-nickel clad half-dollars,” he said. “Something for every collector, those who want to spend big, those who want to spend little; I think we will be able to run the gamut,” he said.
