Roosevelt's personal struggle with polio led him to create the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (now known as the March of Dimes) on January 3, 1938, at a time when polio was on the rise. The Foundation established patient aid programs and funded research for polio vaccines developed by Drs. Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin. Tested in a massive field trial in 1954 that involved 1.8 million schoolchildren known as “polio pioneers,” the Salk vaccine was licensed for use on April 12, 1955, as “safe, effective, and potent.” The Salk and Sabin polio vaccines ultimately ended the polio epidemics in the United States. With its original mission accomplished, the Foundation turned its focus to preventing birth defects, prematurity, and infant mortality in 1958. It began to fund research into the genetic, prenatal, and environmental causes of more than 3,000 birth defects. The Foundation's investment in research has led to 13 scientists winning the Nobel Prize since 1954. Since its founding, the March of Dimes has advocated for the passage of legislation critical to maternal and child health at both the federal and state levels, such as the Birth Defects Prevention Act, Children's Health Act, PREEMIE Act, and Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act. The organization actively supports programs and funding related to prematurity prevention, newborn screening, birth defects, access to health insurance and health care, tobacco cessation, and many more issues that promote healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. The Legislation Signed into law December 18, 2012, the March of Dimes Commemorative Coin Act requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue silver dollar coins in recognition and celebration of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the March of Dimes Foundation. A $10 surcharge has already been paid by Jeffs Coins to the Foundation to help finance research, education and services aimed at improving the health of women, infants, and children. The Designs The obverse (heads side) and reverse (tails side) designs are emblematic of the mission and programs of the March of Dimes Foundation and its distinguished record of generating Americans' support to protect children's health. Consistent with the traditions and heritage of the Foundation, the design themes represent the Foundation's past, present, and future and its role as champion for all babies.

U.S. Mint: News Release Treasurer of the United States Participates in Strike Ceremony for 2015 March of Dimes Silver Dollar WASHINGTON - Treasurer of the United States Rosie Rios joined United States Mint Principal Deputy Director Rhett Jeppson and March of Dimes Foundation President Dr. Jennifer Howse at the bureau's West Point facility today for the ceremonial striking of the 2015 March of Dimes Silver Dollar. "I am excited to be here today to honor the March of Dimes Foundation's 75th anniversary. I congratulate the Foundation for its years of dedication and providing services toward improving the lives of women, infants and children," said Rios. In her remarks, Rios also acknowledged former Senator Kay Hagan (NC) and Representative Robert Dold (IL) for sponsoring the legislation that allowed the Mint to produce the 2015 March of Dimes Silver Dollar. The coin is one of two commemorative coins the Mint has been authorized to produce in 2015 year. Also attending the event were Dr. Peter Salk, son of Dr. Jonas Salk who developed the first successful polio vaccine, and the 2014 March of Dimes National Ambassador, Aidan Lamothe. Seven-year-old Aidan, who was born 11 weeks premature, joined Drs. Howse and Salk to help strike the first coin. "The vision and leadership of FDR and Dr. Jonas Salk sparked the drive towards a world that is now nearly free from polio," said Dr. Howse. "We are thrilled to see this accomplishment--as well as our current work--recognized by Congress and the Secretary of the Treasury with the March of Dimes commemorative coin." "The fight against polio has been a collective effort involving the contributions of millions of individuals around the globe," said Dr. Salk. "This coin is a tribute to both the March of Dimes and my father's legacy, and it honors all those who are striving to improve the health of babies and children everywhere. It is especially meaningful to have this coin minted during the centenary year of my father's birth." The coin's obverse (heads side) and reverse (tails side) designs are emblematic of the mission and programs of the March of Dimes Foundation and its distinguished record of generating Americans' support to protect children's health. The obverse design–representing the past–depicts a profile view of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dr. Jonas Salk, two leaders in the fight against polio. The inscriptions are "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2015." The reverse design depicts a baby cuddled in the hand of a parent, representing the Foundation's dedication to the health of babies everywhere. The inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "$1," and "MARCH OF DIMES." The United States Mint is striking and issuing the 90 percent silver dollar coin in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the March of Dimes Foundation's establishment. Public Law 112-209–the March of Dimes Commemorative Coin Act–authorizes the bureau to produce up to 500,000 coins across all product options. The coin will be available in proof and uncirculated qualities. A $10 surcharge has been paid by Jeffs Coins from the sale of each coin to the Foundation to help finance research, education, and services aimed at improving the health of women, infants, and children.

West Point Mint Facility Located near the U.S. Military Academy in New York state, the United States Mint at West Point manufactures the entire family of American Eagle proof and uncirculated coins in gold, silver, and platinum. The gold and platinum coins are manufactured in denominations of one-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce and tenth -ounce. Silver bullion coins are manufactured in one-ounce denomination. Historical Background: The 'Fort Knox of Silver' and the Newest Mint The West Point Mint produces gold, silver and platinum bullion coins. Erected in 1937 as the West Point Bullion Depository, this was originally a storage facility for silver bullion and was nicknamed "The Fort Knox of Silver." From 1973 to 1986, West Point produced cents, and in 1980 began striking gold medallions. Shortly afterward, approximately 20 billion dollars worth of gold was stored in its vaults, making it second only to Fort Knox for gold storage. Today, it is also the major producer of gold coins. The red letter date for West Point was March 31, 1988, when it gained official status as a United States Mint. Today, it is still a storage facility, but also manufactures, packages and ships gold and silver commemorative coins, and American Eagle Bullion coins in proof and uncirculated condition. Its Platinum Eagles have been very popular since their first issuance in 1997. In 2000, it struck the first ever Gold and Platinum Bi-Metallic Coin. Because of its extremely high security, the West Point facility does not offer public tours. Jeffs Coins information source US Mint. END. .
