The 2010 Native American Dollar features a new design to symbolize the five nations of the Iroquois Confederation. This will continue the series, which features annually rotating reverse designs celebrating the accomplishments and contributions of the Native American people. The reverse design for 2010 features the Hiawatha Belt, which is a visual record of the creation of the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Confederacy. The central figures on the belt, the Great White Pine, represents the Onondaga Nation. The four squares represent the Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, and Seneca Nations. The Belt encircles a bundle of five arrows to symbolize the strength and unity of the Confederacy. The reverse inscriptions include "United States of America", "Haudenosaunee", "Great Law of Peace", and the denomination "$1". The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Sacagawea. This image will be used for the obverse of each coin in the Native American Dollar series. It was originally used on the Sacagawea Dollar coin series, issued from 2000 to 2008. The 2010 Native American Dollars are expected to be issued for circulation in January 2010. Under the authorizing legislation for the series, these coins will circulation along side the Presidential Dollar and at least 20% of the US Mint's annual golden dollar coin production must consist of Native American Dollars.
