The Roosevelt Dime was first introduced in 1946, just a year after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The dime featured the President’s portrait on the obverse side, with an olive branch and torch on the reverse side. This design was the work of John R. Sinnock, who was the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint at the time.
The Roosevelt Dime was the first coin to feature a portrait of a United States President who had passed away. It quickly became popular among the American public, who appreciated the tribute to President Roosevelt. Over the years, the dime has seen small design updates, but the portrait of Roosevelt has remained a constant presence.
One fun fact about the Roosevelt Dime is that it was the first coin to bear the motto “In God We Trust.” This was added to the design in 1956, during a time when the United States was in the midst of the Cold War and wanted to emphasize its belief in God as a way to distinguish itself from the communist countries.
In 1965, the United States Mint switched from 90% silver to a copper-nickel alloy for the dime, as a way to reduce the cost of producing coins. As a result, the 90% Silver Roosevelt Dime was discontinued. However, these dimes continue to be highly valued by collectors and investors, both for their historical significance and their silver content.
