Information about the 2019 American Innovation New Jersey Dollar:
The New Jersey $1 Coin honors the development of a light bulb with a filament that could last 1,200 hours. This design features a Thomas Edison light bulb against an ornate background. As Edison is known to have tried over 3,000 light bulbs and tested over 6,000 different plants to determine which material would burn the longest when inventing the light bulb, certainly a testament to his innovation. Over the years, Edison was credited with having over 1,000 different patents. The invention of the light bulb is one of his most important creations, if not his most important invention of all. The production of the lightbulb-emblazoned 2019 Innovation New Jersey Dollars are excellent for celebrating one of the greatest inventions of all time. The inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “NEW JERSEY.”
The American Innovation Dollar weighs 8.1 grams and has a diameter of 26.5mm. American Innovation Dollars are composed of a pure copper core with outer layers of manganese brass (.770 copper, .120 zinc, .070 manganese, and .040 nickel).
