The BIG One Dollar Coin Lie | Daily Sip with Marcel February 13, 2026

Today's episode is something different. Marcel tells a story, one of many this year dedicated to America's 250th celebration. Marcel discusses the release of a new Sakagawea dollar coin featuring Polly Cooper, an Oneida woman who played a crucial role during the American Revolution. Polly's contribution, teaching soldiers how to prepare corn properly, saved many lives during Washington's desperate winter at Valley Forge in 1778. Despite the Oneida Nation's pivotal support, they faced severe retaliation and land loss post-war. The coin's release in 2026 coincides with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, symbolizing the Nation's significant yet often-forgotten role in America's fight for freedom. The story prompts reflection on other untold heroic tales.

The United States Mint is releasing a new one-dollar coin in 2026 to celebrate Polly Cooper, an Oneida woman who provided vital aid to George Washington’s army during the Revolutionary War. This commemorative currency honors her historical contribution of transporting white corn to starving colonial soldiers at Valley Forge and teaching them how to prepare it safely. The coin is part of a broader Native American $1 Coin Program designed to honor the diverse achievements and cultural legacies of Indigenous peoples. While the tribute underscores the Oneida Nation's status as a key American ally, historians note that such recognition coexists with a complex history of territorial loss and broken treaties. This design was developed in partnership with Oneida leadership to accurately represent Cooper’s compassion and bravery.
