Steve Jobs and the Cray-1 Supercomputer Will Be on US Dollar Coins

The U.S. Mint plans to feature Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, and the Cray-1 supercomputer on new dollar coins in 2026. The Cray-1, one of the first commercially successful supercomputers, will be depicted alongside Jobs on the coin. The decision to include Jobs and the Cray-1 on the coin is part of the American Innovation $1 Coin Program, which aims to highlight significant American innovators and their contributions to the country's development. The program has already featured other notable figures, such as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison, on past coin designs. The inclusion of Jobs and the Cray-1 on the dollar coin is seen as a recognition of the significant impact that the personal computer industry and advancements in computing technology have had on the United States. The move is expected to generate interest and raise awareness about the contributions of these important figures in the history of American innovation.
