Comments

This was the first colored general circulation coin in the world.

Also known as the conspiracy coin, due to the red center, the US Secret Service believed there to be a microchip inside the coin, enabling them to be satellite tracked.

In 2005 coin was issued again, this time not for circulation but as UNC in bookmark. Printed poppy seems to be little different than in 2004:
