The Native American dollar program features designs celebrating the important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans to the history and development of the United States. New for 2009 the reverse design is based on a theme of agriculture and features a Native American woman planting seeds in a field, with the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1. The obverse keeps the main design of the Sacagawea dollar first struck in 2000. As with the Presidential $1 Coins, the Native American $1 Coins have a distinctive edge, featuring the year, mint mark and the inscription E PLURIBUS UNUM.
