In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a leader who had personally battled polio, founded an organization to fight the disease and support infant health. This initiative evolved into the March of Dimes Foundation, which has since worked tirelessly to prevent birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. To honor this legacy, the U.S. Mint issued the 2015 March of Dimes Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated, a stunning 90% silver commemorative coin that celebrates the foundation’s ongoing mission to protect mothers and babies.
