Roosevelt dime history The Roosevelt dimes were first minted in 1946 to commemorate President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s death, who passed on the 12th of April, 1945. His death caused national mourning. At the age of thirty-nine, Roosevelt was diagnosed with polio and spent many years raising money and awareness of the disease. During his presidency, Roosevelt started a fundraising event known as ‘the March of Dimes.’ It seemed appropriate after his death to feature his head on the obverse of a dime. The Chief Engraver at the US mint, John R. Sinnock, designed the coin. It was made from 90% silver and 10% copper for almost twenty years before being changed to copper and nickel in 1965 due to rising silver prices. In 1992 the Mint started minting annual proofs and collectors’ coins in silver again.
