New Delhi: Apple co-founder Steve Jobs will soon join the ranks of inventors and innovators whose work has shaped modern life, this time, not in a product launch, but on a coin. The U.S. Mint has confirmed that Jobs will appear on the 2026 United States Innovation one-dollar commemorative coin, celebrating his contributions to technology and design.

The coin is part of the American Innovation $1 Coin Program, a national initiative started in 2018 that honors the spirit of ingenuity across U.S. states and territories. For California, Governor Gavin Newsom had earlier recommended Jobs as the face of innovation, calling him “a world-renowned innovator who encapsulates the unique brand of innovation that California runs on.”
