Best Answer

FDR never "mandated" the dime or any other low-denomination coins. You may be thinking of the fact that his image was put on the dime in 1946, the year after his death, because of his involvement with the March of Dimes to raise money for research on polio.

Value of a 1939 P Roosevelt dime worth?

Franklin Roosevelt was still president in 1939 so his portrait wouldn't appear on a coin at that time. The first Roosevelt dimes were issued only following his death.If you have a 1939 Mercury dime, it's worth about $1 in worn condition, $2 with moderate wear.If you have a 1959 Roosevelt dime, it's worth about $1 for its silver content regardless of condition, unless it's uncirculated. In that case it might retail for about $2.
