1996 National Community Service 90% Silver Dollar

1996 National Community Service 90% Silver Dollar

The 1996 National Community Service Silver Dollar was issued to honor the spirit of volunteerism in the United States. The coins were released at a time when the number of commemorative coin issues had dramatically increased, creating a backlash from collectors. This same year, Congress passed a new law stipulating that after the previously approved programs had run their course, no more than two commemorative coin programs could be approved per year.
