The US Mint announced the design on December 15, 2008. The total mintage was 82 million coins for circulation, with the same amount struck at each mint. The coins were evenly distributed between Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. Collectors can purchase silver proof and gold proof versions.

Uncirculated coins in P and D grades are worth about $1, while an MS 65-graded coin in S condition can fetch up to $4. Similarly, a PR 69DC coin can fetch up to $15.
