Thursday, January 4, 2024
Three commemorative coins honoring Harriet Tubman go on sale Thursday from the U.S. mint.
Each coin reflects a period of the abolitionist's life.
The silver dollar depicts Tubman as a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad.
The half dollar shows her as a spy and union nurse during the civil war.
And the $5 gold coin features an older Tubman gazing in the distance toward the future.
The coins can be purchased separately or as a set for $836.
Proceeds from the sales will go to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Harriet Tubman home.
