Christa McAuliffe: Teacher in Space

Congress votes to issue coin for 'Teacher in Space' Christa McAuliffe



September 20, 2019 — The United States Mint will memorialize the first teacher who launched toward space with a new coin that will help continue her mission of science and technology education.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Christa McAuliffe Commemorative Coin Act of 2019 on Thursday (Sept. 19), directing the Mint to produce a $1 silver coin honoring the fallen educator, who died alongside her six crewmates on board the space shuttle Challenger in 1986. Approved by the Senate in July, the bill will now go to the White House for the President to sign into law.

"So proud that today the House passed my bill," said Representative Fred Upton, the Republican congressman from southwest Michigan who introduced the bill into the House in January. "I am looking forward to 2021 to getting my coin for sure."

The act calls for the Mint to issue "not more than 350,000" of the $1 silver coins in 2021, recognizing the 35th anniversary of the Challenger disaster. The 1.5-inch (3.8-centimeter) coin will feature an image and the name of Christa McAuliffe on the obverse, or heads side, and a design on the reverse "that depicts the legacy of Christa McAuliffe as a teacher."

“Always be yourself & always try your best”. Remembering #ChristaMcAuliffe, who died this day, 1986, along with her 6 #Challenger crew members. Her admirable philosophy mirrors Bach’s: “I was obliged to work hard; whoever is equally industrious, will succeed just as well”
