Why the newest dimes are missing a symbol of peace in the US

The Emerging Liberty Dime's eagle lacks the olive branch to symbolize ongoing conflict, with the new design already circulating for the 250th anniversary, U.S. Mint said.

  • On the semiquincentennial, the Emerging Liberty Dime replaces President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the obverse, with designs finalized in 2024 and the new dime already in circulation, the U.S. Mint said.
  • Congress authorized the semiquincentennial coin program and President Donald Trump signed the act, with designs recommended in October before his reelection and finalized in 2024.
  • Artist and designer statements explain the missing olive branch and other motifs, with Esao Andrews showing Liberty and Eric David Custer telling Spotlight PA last month the empty claw signals awaiting peace.
  • The Roosevelt dime, in circulation since 1946, is slated to return to production in 2027, while U.S. Mint Deputy Director Kristie McNally said the program will 'Connect America through Coins'.
  • The U.S. Mint says the eagle symbolizes the American Revolution and colonists' fight for independence, and the semiquincentennial coin set depicts America's journey toward a 'more perfect union'.
