Maryland's innovation dollar honors the Hubble Space Telescope, developed at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and managed through NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt. When Hubble launched in 1990, a flawed primary mirror rendered it effectively useless until a 1993 servicing mission corrected the optics — one of the more embarrassing and then triumphant episodes in NASA history. The American Innovation dollar series itself was authorized under the American Innovation $1 Coin Act of 2018, producing four coins per year through 2032 with no legal tender circulation mandate driving production.
