Introduced in 2018 and authorized by Public Law 115-197, the American Innovation^® $1 Coin Program is a multi-year series featuring distinctive reverse (tails) designs that pay homage to America’s ingenuity and celebrate the pioneering efforts of individuals or groups from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories.

The 2022 American Innovation Tennessee $1 Coin recognizes the formation of the Tennessee Valley Authority.  The reverse design depicts a Tennessee farm with newly installed power lines lining the road.  Inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY,” and “TENNESSEE.” United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) Designer Matt Swaim created the design, and Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna sculpted it.

The obverse (heads) of all coins in this series features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty in profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1.”  It also includes a privy mark of a stylized gear, representing industry and innovation.  AIP Designer Justin Kunz created the design, which was sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill.

Incused on the coin’s edge are “2022,” the mint mark, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
