Roosevelt dimes were first issued by the United States Mint in 1946. They were created to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt following his death in 1945, particularly for his efforts in founding the March of Dimes to combat polio. The design features a profile of Roosevelt on the obverse and a torch, olive branch, and oak branch on the reverse.
