Beginning in 2009, the United States Mint began issuing $1 coins featuring designs celebrating the important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans to the history and development of the United States. The obverse design remains the central figure of the "Sacagawea" design first produced in 2000, and contains the inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. The reverse design will change each year to celebrate an important contribution of Indian tribes, or individual Native Americans, and contain the inscriptions $1 and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The law requires that at least 20 percent of all $1 coins minted and issued in any year be Native American $1 Coins. Like the Sacagawea and Presidential $1 Coins, the Native American $1 Coins will maintain their distinctive golden color. In addition, they will feature edge-lettering of the year, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM.

THEME: "Mohawk high iron workers, builders of New York City and other skylines (from 1886)" - The reverse design depicts a Mohawk ironworker reaching for an I-beam that is swinging into position, rivets on the left and right side of the border, and a high elevation view of the city skyline in the background.
