Dimes featuring Franklin D. Roosevelt were first minted in 1946, following his death in April 1945. The coin was introduced to honor the late president's contributions, particularly his leadership during the Great Depression and World War II. The design was created by artist John R. Sinnock and has remained largely unchanged since its introduction.
