TSA Department of Homeland Security Coin – 3D Relief

Description The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security(DHS) that has authority over the security of transportation systems within and connecting to the United States. On the morning of September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The attacks resulted in the creation of the Transportation Security Administration, designed to prevent similar attacks in the future. Driven by a desire to help our nation, tens of thousands of people joined TSA and committed themselves to strengthening our transportation systems while ensuring the freedom of movement for people and commerce. In the many years since the September 11th attacks, the Department has marshaled this collective vision to face new and emerging threats against the Homeland. Perhaps most importantly, they forge partnerships to strengthen public, private, and international cooperation and crowd-sourcing solutions. Struck in a brass finish, this coin is accented with colorful enamel highlights on the obverse side and the reverse bears the seal of  Department of Homeland Security struck in detailed 3D relief. Each coin measures 1.75 inches (44mm) in diameter.
