• Five 2015-S Silver America the Beautiful Quarters with reverse designs emblematic of five different sites of national interest — Homestead National Monument of America in Nebraska; Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana; Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina; Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware; and Saratoga National Historical Park in New York
• 2015-S Silver Roosevelt Dime
• 2015-S Jefferson Nickel

The half-dollar, five quarter-dollars and dime are all in 90% silver and 10% copper. In addition, the Native American $1 Coin, the four Presidential $1 coins and the five America the Beautiful Quarters showcase designs only featured on 2015-dated coins.
