| Additional information |
The F-100 Super Sabre holds a specific place in Cold War aviation history as the first American operational fighter capable of level supersonic flight, entering service with the USAF in 1954. The Marshall Islands ran an extensive commemorative program through the 1990s issuing dollar-denomination copper-nickel pieces tied to American military and aerospace subjects — a commercially driven series with little organic connection to Marshallese monetary history, produced primarily for the collector market rather than circulation.
