This Native American coin series is expected to be an annual release.

Native American Tepees
Tepees or tipis are the name of dwellings used by American Indians. Typically, they were constructed of poles arranged and fastened into a conical frame covered by animal skins. A hole was left in the top for smoke to escape and a flap was created to allow movement in and out of the tepee. Although these structures were highly mobile, the design still provided a solid shelter for the American Indians. They were used by hunter-gatherer tribes like the Plains Indians who killed bison, deer, elk and other game animals for food. Furthermore, they were often decorated elaborately with pictures of animals, gods and tribal symbols that had strong meaning for the owner.
