Carver Innovation dollar coinYou will receive Two (2) - Coins Total1 - P and 1 D Mint Coin From the U.S. Mint:The American Innovation $1 Coin representing Missouri honors George Washington Carver, agricultural scientist, inventor, and educator.George Washington Carver was born into slavery in Missouri at the end of the Civil War. In the 1890s, he studied botany and agriculture at Iowa State Agricultural College. He then joined the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama at the invitation of Booker T. Washington. He taught agricultural methods at Tuskegee for 47 years.In the South, cotton was the primary cash crop, despite it creating poor quality soil due to nutrient depletion. Carver wanted to improve the life of poor farmers trying to make a living growing cotton. He taught methods such as crop rotation, which alternated cotton with nitrate-producing legumes like peanuts and peas. The cotton depleted the soil of its nutrients while the legumes restored nitrogen. This method improved crop yields and was more cost-effective than using commercial fertilizer.Carver investigated alternative crops to cotton that would grow well in the South. Then in an effort to create demand for these crops, he developed industrial and commercial uses for them. Through his research he discovered hundreds of different uses for peanuts, sweet potatoes, pecans, and others, including flour, cosmetics, and paints.George Washington Carver died on January 5, 1943. That year Congress created the George Washington Carver National Monument at the site of his boyhood home in Missouri.The obverse design features a dramatic representation of the Statue of Liberty n profile with the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “$1”.The year of minting, mint mark, and inscription “E PLURIBUS UNUM” areincused on the edge of the coin.Here is your chance to start collecting this new series of Innovation/Innovators golden dollar coins for the next 15 years.
