5 Dollars Albert Einstein

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands has no independent monetary authority and uses the US dollar, making these gold issues a product of a licensing arrangement rather than any genuine fiscal need. Struck in 2004, the timing aligns with the centennial of Einstein's annus mirabilis — 1905 — when he published four papers that reshaped physics, including the special theory of relativity and the photoelectric effect, the latter of which earned his 1921 Nobel Prize.
