The United States Mint issued a commemorative silver dollar to recognize and celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the March of Dimes Foundation. The non-profit organization was originally founded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to combat polio and now works to improve the health of mothers and babies.
During the design selection phase, there were multiple design candidates released by the US Mint which incorporated images of the Roosevelt Dime, the Mercury Dime portrait, or the dime books associated with the organization’s fundraising efforts. While the final selected designs did not include dime images, the US Mint would issue a collector set including two specially minted Roosevelt Dimes.
