In 1933, The U.S. mint stopped making gold coins for use in daily commerce.
But in 1999, they made American Eagle coins, this time not for the public, but for people who will buy them either as collectors or as investors.
The Eagle is the national symbol and was required by law to be on the $1 coins (and most other coins) until Congress suspended it to allow the Statue of Liberty to be placed on the reverse of the Presidential dollars. Now the only coin we still make with a Eagle reverse is the Kennedy half dollars and the American Eagle Bullion coins.
well being that there is no such thing as an American eagle, i would have to say the golden eagle. If u mean the bald eagle as the American eagle then the golden eagle is still bigger
Silver Eagle coins were first minted in 1986 and are still in production today.
It used to be American Eagle, but now im not sure it still might be the same.
A "colorized" silver eagle has no numismatic collectible value, but it's still one ounce of silver that's worth about $30.00.
NO. It is still being minted and has been since 1794.
On June 28, 2007 the Interior Department took the American bald eagle off the Endangered Species List. The bald eagle will still be protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The Bald Eagle Protection Act prohibits the take, transport, sale, barter, trade, import and export, and possession of eagles, making it illegal for anyone to collect eagles and eagle parts, nests, or eggs without a permit. Native Americans are able to possess these emblems which are traditional in their culture.
The Denver Mint, which is responsible for producing coins, has not entirely stopped making coins. However, it ceased the production of circulating coins in 1974 due to a surplus of coinage. While it still produces coin dies and other numismatic items, the mint primarily focuses on refining precious metals and other operations today.
5-22-11>> Regardless of the of the date, painted ASE coins may look cool but have no numismatic value. It still has a silver value of about $30.00
There are way too many to list, but here are a few of the US denominations that are no longer being made for circulation today: 1/2 cent, 2 cent piece, 3 cent piece, half-dime (worth 5 cents but was small and made out of silver), 20 cent piece, silver dollar, gold $1 coin, gold quarter eagle ($2.50), gold half eagle ($5), gold eagle ($10), gold double eagle ($20), gold half-union ($50) Some of these coins are still being produced today as commemorative/bullion coins such as silver dollars and gold coins, but their collector value (and their metal value) far exceed face value.
Aeropostale, American Eagle, Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch Still popular now, in 2009
In 1927 the US Mint at Denver, Colorado struck 180,000 Double Eagles. There is no way to know how many of them still exist today.
