Item Description
The Whitman United States Innovation Dollars Album is the premier archival-quality folder for collectors seeking to complete a set of the U.S. Mint's multi-year "American Innovation" dollar series. This series, which began in 2018 and is scheduled to run through 2032, celebrates significant innovations and innovators from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five U.S. territories.
Comprehensive Multi-Year Layout: The album is designed to house the entire series, featuring labeled slots for every coin from the inaugural 2018 "Introductory" dollar through the final issues in 2032.
Dual-Mint Capacity: Whitman typically provides slots for both Philadelphia (P) and Denver (D) mint marks, allowing collectors to build a complete "business strike" set.
Archival-Safe Construction: Like all classic Whitman albums, it is made from high-grade, acid-free materials. The blue leatherette binder and screw-post design ensure the coins are protected from long-term environmental damage.
Thumb-Slide Protection: The "Classic" version features clear plastic slides that cover both the obverse and reverse of the coins. This allows you to view the designs and the edge-incused lettering (year, mint mark, and E Pluribus Unum) without touching the coin surfaces.
Uniform Aesthetics: The binder is designed with the signature Whitman blue and gold-foil stamping, making it a perfect match for existing collections of Presidential or Sacagawea dollars.

Because Innovation Dollars are "Not Intended For Circulation" (NIFC), they are rarely found in pocket change. Most collectors acquire them directly from the Mint or dealers in rolls or bags. This album provides the structure needed to organize these high-grade coins as they are released four times per year. Furthermore, because the date and mint mark are on the edge of the coin, the Whitman slide system is one of the few ways to keep the coin secure while still allowing a side-view of the edge.
