US Mint prägt historische 1-Dollar-Gedenkmünze zu Ehren von Apple-Mitgründer Steve Jobs
Die US-Regierung ehrt Tech-Legende mit numismatischem Meisterwerk
Innovation in Metall gegossen
Die US Mint hat eine limitierte 1-Dollar-Gedenkmünze enthüllt, die das Vermächtnis des verstorbenen Apple-Mitgründers Steve Jobs würdigt. Das Sammlerstück zeigt Jobs' ikonisches Porträt neben dem unverwechselbaren Apple-Logo - eine seltene staatliche Anerkennung für einen Tech-Pionier.
Symbolischer Wert trifft auf Sammlerwahn
Die Münze verbindet traditionelles Prägehandwerk mit digitalem Erbe. Während Kryptowährungen die Finanzwelt revolutionieren, beweist diese physische Hommage, dass echter Wert manchmal doch in greifbaren Assets liegt. Banker werden sich freuen - endlich mal eine Wertsteigerung, die nicht von volatilen Algorithmen abhängt.
Numismatiker und Tech-Enthusiasten stehen bereits Schlange für das historische Stück. Die Münze erinnert daran, dass wahre Innovation sowohl die digitale als auch die physische Welt transformiert - auch wenn die Wall Street das vielleicht erst in zehn Jahren versteht.
Steve Jobs’ $1 coin to launch in 2026
The Mint states, “This design presents a young Steve Jobs sitting in front of a quintessentially Northern California landscape of oak-covered rolling hills. His posture and expression, as he is captured in a moment of reflection, show how this environment inspired his vision to transform complex technology into something as intuitive and organic as nature itself.”
Steve Jobs’ $1 coin is expected to launch in 2026 and will be available for purchase on the US Mint website. The coin will be available for $13.25.
Alongside Jobs, the collection will also honor Dr. Norman Borlaug, known as the father of the Green Revolution; the Cray-1 Supercomputer, a milestone in computing technology; and the development of mobile refrigeration—a life-changing innovation in food preservation and transportation.
Customers can purchase a set of four items featuring Steve Jobs, Dr. Norman Borlaug, the Cray-1 Supercomputer, and Mobile Refrigeration for $27.50. They can also get bags of 25 or 100 coins.
Trump plans to put his image on a commemorative $1 coin
In other news, President Donald TRUMP plans to feature his image on both sides of a commemorative $1 coin issued by the US Mint.
US currency typically does not feature living people or sitting presidents. Pieces of coinage legislation enacted over the past few decades have included specific language banning living people from being portrayed on US-minted coins.
In one case, there is a set of coins released in 2007 that honors every president. The law says that none of the coins in the set can “bear the image of a living former or current president, or of any deceased former president during the two years following the date of that president’s death.”
However, it’s not unprecedented. In fact, WHITE House National Economic Council chair Kevin Hassett said, “There have been times in the past where commemorative coins have been printed with the faces of living people.”
The coin revealed, featured Trump’s side profile, and its flip side with an illustration of Trump pumping his fist after a 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The phrase, “Fight Fight Fight,” lines the coin’s perimeter, referencing a Trump rallying cry repeated after the assassination attempt.
