The US Mint released commemorative coins honoring abolitionist Harriet Tubman Thursday.

The coins include $5 gold coins, $1 silver coins and half-dollar coins that commemorate the bicentennial of her birth. This is the first time the US Mint has honored Tubman with coins, according to the agency.

    Not really though, the “$5” gold coin is $708.

    You could re-sell it for the gold or collector value, but you can’t spend it like money.
