Apollo 11
50th Anniversary
Commemorative Coin Program
The Event That Changed The World
On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy issued his famous challenge to Congress and the American people: “I believe that this Nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth.” The United States Mint commemorates the moment our country’s best and brightest met that challenge. With stunning imagery that puts its owners on the surface of the Moon itself, the Mint’s collection celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing. Join us as we celebrate the highlights of this era-defining mission; relive the hope, the excitement, and national pride of the first Moon landing with an amazing Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Commemorative Coin.

“We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win...”
– President John F. Kennedy, September 12, 1962
