| | The United States mint has issued a new silver dollar honoring Chief Justice John Marshall. This represents the first coin to pay tribute to a member of the U.S. Supreme Court. The Mint announced and unveiled the silver dollar in a ceremony on Wednesday at the Supreme Court building. The coin is issued in time to mark the 250th birthday of the nation's fourth Chief Justice. The Mint is producing 400,000 coins that will sell for less than $40 a piece. Marshall was on the Supreme Court for 34 years. In the most legendary and important case of the time, Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court established the judicial branch's power to review and declare unconstitutional acts of Congress.
