The US Mint released commemorative coins honoring abolitionist Harriet Tubman Thursday.
The coins include $5 gold coins, $1 silver coins and half-dollar coins that commemorate the bicentennial of her birth. This is the first time the US Mint has honored Tubman with coins, according to the agency.

Neat, now quit printing dollar bills so folks will actually use them instead of just collecting them.
They are meant for collecting
These aren't the coins that could replace dollar bills, but I would love to see $1 and $5 bills replaced with coins, along with a phase-out of pennies and nickels. Coins are supposed to be money, not trash.
