The U.S. Mint's Steve Jobs dollar coin sold out in just 11 minutes after its Tuesday release, part of the 2026 American Innovation series. This California-themed coin features a young Jobs against oak-covered hills, with inscriptions like "Make Something Wonderful." It was offered in 25-coin rolls for $61 and 100-coin bags at $154.50, both vanishing rapidly online.

Designed by Elana Hagler, the coin's reverse shows the Statue of Liberty and "In God We Trust," with edge lettering including the minting year. The Mint underestimated demand, offering 7,800 bags and 18,150 rolls but imposing a ten-unit household limit. Such swift sell-outs reflect strong collector interest in tech memorabilia tied to iconic figures.

Mint Director Paul Hollis praised Jobs' transformative impact, stating the coin honors his work for California and the nation. The rapid depletion underscores the enduring appeal of Steve Jobs as a cultural symbol and the robust market for commemorative coins among enthusiasts and investors.
