Up for sale is a complete set of 46 Innovation business strike dollars to date from 2018 to 2023 plus the second of the four releases for 2024, AL, from the Philadelphia and Denver mints (23 P & 23 D). This set represents ALL of the Innovation dollars released by the US mint from 2018 through 2024 to date (set is complete through the second of the four Innovation designs for 2024, AL). I have sold over 700 of these sets recently as my pricing is reasonable and the coins nice and relatively hard to find.
In 2018 there was one introductory Innovation dollar coin released with regular circulation strike coins from the Philadelphia and the Denver mints. In 2019, there were 4 different Innovation Dollar designs released covering innovations from the states of DE, PA,NY & GA each with a regular circulation strike P & D set of coins.
In 2020 the four Innovation Dollar designs released were for innovations in the states of CT, MA, MD & SC. The 2020 MA (Telephone Coin) and 2020 MD (Hubble Telescope Coin) are both very popular that are already hard to find and can cost $8/$5 each respectively because of the demand and lack of supply. As well the 2020 CT (Gerber Variable Scale) and 2020 SC (Septima Clark) are also harder to find but not quite as popular or expensive as the 2020 MA and 2020 MD coins.
In 2021 four Innovation Dollar designs were released for NH, VA, NY & NC and in 2022 were four Innovation Dollar designs released for RI, VT, KY & TN.In 2023 four Innovation Dollar designs were released for OH, LA, IN and MS. And to date there have been two coins released in 2024 for IL & AL.

2020 CT InnovationDollar
Before the invention ofthe graphing calculator, scientists needed a clear, quick, and simple solutionto understand and solve problems of scale. The invention of the Gerber VariableScale was that solution.
Heinz Joseph Gerber(1924–1996) invented the device while studying aeronautical engineering atRensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1945, a few years after escapingNazi-controlled Austria with his mother. The earliest version of the variablescale had been fashioned from an elastic band removed from a pair of pajamas.Gerber created a rubber rule and scale that could flow with a curve, expand,contract, and turn a corner. It allowed for the direct numerical reading ofcurves, graphs, and graphical representations.
