SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Money Reserve, one of the nation's largest private distributors of physical precious metals, is proud to announce the launch of its "Trades of America" 5 oz. silver coin, developed in partnership with longtime collaborator, television personality, and skilled trades advocate, Mike Rowe. This limited-edition coin pays tribute to the skilled tradespeople who design, build, and maintain the infrastructure that supports everyday life for all Americans.

In a continued effort to advance American work ethic and values, U.S. Money Reserve will donate 100% of the purchase price from the first 250 coins sold, and 20% of the purchase price from the second 250 coins sold, to Mike Rowe's mikeroweWORKS Foundation, a nonprofit providing scholarships for trade school and skilled trade training. The "Trades of America" coin is a signature piece that offers a unique opportunity to give back to the nation's skilled trade community.

The "Trades of America" coin is crafted from five ounces of .9999 fine silver with a proof finish that brings the coin's intricate, ultra-high relief design to life. The obverse of the coin features an American bald eagle with its wings outstretched, clutching a shield with an American flag design. The engraved text reads, "America at Work." Below the eagle is the coin's legal-tender value along with the official crest of the Cook Islands.

On the reverse side of the coin, two tradespeople stand proudly in front of a gleaming city skyline under construction. The imagery of tools and gears highlights our nation's industrial strength and mechanical precision, while cranes and roadways in the background signal ongoing progress and improvement. The engraved text reads, "Trades of America." The official seal of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation is proudly displayed at the base of the design. 

"The 'Trades of America' coin is a celebration of skilled labor," says Mike Rowe, founder of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. "It recognizes the men and women who keep the lights on, the water running, and the roads paved. I'm honored to partner with U.S. Money Reserve in shining a spotlight on these essential workers and elevating their vital contributions to society. Their generous donation will enable us to expand our scholarship program and further our mission of supporting the future of trade work."

"At U.S. Money Reserve, we're proud to recognize and support the continued development of our nations essential infrastructure and the hardworking people behind it," says Angela Roberts, CEO of U.S. Money Reserve. "Tradespeople continue to provide the skills and labor required to build, maintain, repair and innovate the very foundation which supports our daily lives".

"Adhering to the highest quality minting and design standards was a top priority for our team in crafting the 'Trades of America' coin, and why we chose CIT's smartminting® technology for the coin's ultra-high relief detail" says John Rothans, Chief Procurement Officer at U.S. Money Reserve. "The quality of this coin is a direct reflection of the skill and craftsmanship of the very people it honors." 

U.S. Money Reserve's "Trades of America" coin pays tribute to the strength, pride and enduring impact of our nation's talented tradespeople, whose hands and tools shape the nation's infrastructure and make daily life possible.
