  • 格兰特纪念币(英語:Grant Memorial coinage)是美国铸币局1922年生产的一美元金币和半美元银币,旨在纪念南北战争联邦军总司令、第18任美国总统尤利西斯·格兰特诞辰一百周年。两种硬币图案完成相同,由设计。 尤利西斯·格兰特百年纪念协会希望发行20万枚一美元金币,为格兰特出生地及童年故居等多个项目融资,但国会只授权发行一万枚一美元金币和25万枚半美元。为提升销量,委员会要求在五千枚金币上增加特殊符号五角星,之后铸币局主动为五千枚半美元加上同样的星星。 一美元金币和大部分半美元售出,但还是有部分半美元退回铸币局熔毁。带五角星的半美元长年以来都比大部分纪念币值钱,且因稀有导致伪造层出不穷。销售纪念币所获收益用于保护前总统的出生地,但其他项目未能达成。 (zh)
