| Additional information |
The F8U Crusader was the U.S. Navy's first operational supersonic fighter, introduced in 1957 and notable for its variable-incidence wing — a mechanical solution to the problem of carrier deck angle versus high-speed flight attitude. The Marshall Islands issued a long series of brass $10 pieces throughout the 1990s honoring American military aircraft, a program driven entirely by the collector market rather than any domestic circulation need; these coins were legal tender in name only.
