2026 American Innovation $1 Coin Rolls and Bags™ Featuring Wisconsin on Sale April 7
March 31, 2026 WASHINGTON, March. 31, 2026 — The 2026 American Innovation $1 Coin Rolls and Bags featuring Innovation in Wisconsin will be available for purchase from the United States Mint (Mint) on Tuesday, April 7 at noon EDT. The reverse (tails) design features the stylized aerial view of the Cray-1, the first commercially successful supercomputer. Built from 1976 to 1982, it was known as the world’s fastest computer.

“The American Innovation $1 Coin for the State of Wisconsin celebrates the world-class invention of the Cray-1 supercomputer, which was designed and built in the state of Wisconsin and is often associated with the beginning of the modern era of supercomputing,” said Paul Hollis, Director of the Mint. “The Mint is honored to highlight this groundbreaking innovation and recognize its importance to both Wisconsin and the United States.”
“Here in Wisconsin, we have a proud history of leading advancements in technology, industry, infrastructure—you name it—and I'm thrilled that the Wisconsin Innovation $1 Coin celebrates one of our proudest home-grown innovations, the Cray-1 supercomputer, which was known as the world's fastest computer at the time of its creation," said Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers. “Seymour Cray, the Wisconsinite and innovator behind the Cray-1 supercomputer, represents the best of our state, and his work has shaped countless aspects of the modern world that we know today. We're incredibly proud to recognize the Cray-1 supercomputer as an icon of Wisconsin's capacity for innovation."
