Best Answer

The American Bale Eagle is our national symbol.

MoreUntil about 15 years ago the image was legally required on all coins except dimes, nickels, and cents. The law was relaxed when the State Quarter series began in 1999, and was not applied to the new Presidential and Native American dollars.
