The US Mint opened in 1792 and its first director was the renowned scientist David Rittenhouse (1792-1795). The Mint was established as a response to the unstable monetary rates occurring at the time - people realised the importance of stability in circulation. Today, the mint is one of the most prestigious mints in the world. In recent times, production has fluctuated between 4 and 10 billion coins per year, making the American Eagle coins already known all over the world. The United States Mint operates in six cities across the country: the headquarters is in Washington DC, the treasury is in Fort Knox, and production centres are in Philadelphia, West Point, Denver and San Francisco.
The obverse was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens for coins minted between 1907 and 1933. It depicts the personification of Liberty, symbol of the United States and liberation, walking with the attributes of peace: an olive branch and a torch. The seat of the US Congress can be seen at her feet, with the sun's rays in the background. The obverse contains the maxim that was included in the Declaration of Independence - ''In God We Trust'' (In God We Trust)
The reverse is decorated by an eagle (designed by John Mercanti) holding a ribbon with the maxim '"E pluribus unum"' (Latin: Out of many one), referring to the unification of the states. Above the eagle are thirteen five-pointed stars, symbolising the thirteen colonies.
