Apollo 11 launched on July 16, 1969, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins aboard the Saturn V rocket. Four days later, Armstrong and Aldrin landed the Lunar Module Eagle on the moon while Collins orbited above in the Command Module Columbia. Armstrong’s first steps onto the lunar surface marked one of the defining achievements of the 20th century and fulfilled President John F. Kennedy’s goal of landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade. Issued for the mission’s 50th anniversary, this commemorative currency set honors one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of space exploration.
