Leifur Eiríksson Foundation
For the millennial celebration in Iceland, the Central Bank of Iceland proposed minting a silver coin commemorating Leifur Eirikssons discovery of North America about the year 1000. The Central Bank suggested to members of Congress that the United States might be interested in a joint celebration by issuing its own silver coin. This led to the Leif Ericson Commemorative Coin Act.
