United States Mint Reschedules Launch Ceremony for 2011 Native American $1 Coin

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The United States Mint's launch ceremony for the 2011 Native American $1 Coin will take place March 25, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time (ET).  The event will be held at the Henry Hornblower II Visitor Center on Plimoth Plantation, a living museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts that focuses on life in Plymouth Colony during the 17th century.  Following the ceremony, the public can exchange their cash for rolls of the 2011 Native American $1 Coin.  Children 18 years old and younger will receive a new coin to commemorate the event.
