TL;DR

The U.S. Mint has released three commemorative coins featuring abolitionist Harriet Tubman, available for preorder and set to ship in February. The coins, which include a gold $5, a silver dollar, and a half dollar, celebrate Tubman's bicentennial birthday. Surcharges from sales will support the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Harriet Tubman Home. While these collector's items are legal tender, they are not intended for general circulation. This release comes as the process to feature Tubman on the $20 bill faces delays, with a new note now expected in 2030.
