50 Dollars F14 Tomcat

The Marshall Islands' commemorative program of the 1990s targeted American military collectors with aggressive specificity, and the F-14 Tomcat issue arrived while the aircraft was still active fleet service with the U.S. Navy. Grumman's variable-sweep wing fighter had by then survived multiple attempts at early retirement, with Congress repeatedly intervening to keep the type flying against Navy preference for the cheaper F/A-18.

The Tomcat would finally be retired in 2006, partly to prevent Iran — which had purchased F-14s under the Shah — from accessing U.S. spare parts procurement channels.
