I am trying to learn as much as possible about how Susan B. Anthony
got on the Silver dollar. I like to know the year, and if possible the
process that took place over the years that got her on the dollar.  I
may have some follow up questions but this will just be a beginning.

Thank you-

Hi stephenh and thanks for the question.

The website I have listed below is an excellent resource for your
research.

"On August 22, 1978, the Senate passed the bill providing for the
striking of a new, reduced size dollar coin carrying the image of the
19th-century suffragist Susan B. Anthony on the obverse.  The reverse
would bear the Eisenhower dollar's Apollo 11 motif.  Not a single
Senator dissented.   On September 26, 1978, the House of
Representatives approved by a vote of 368 to 38."

"the Mint struck the first Susan B. Anthony dollar coins in
Philadelphia on December 13, 1978, with 1979 dates and the first "P"
mintmark since the silver nickels of World War II.  Denver production
began on January 9, 1979, and San Francisco minting began on February
2, 1979."

"Political Influences
The legislative process through which the Susan B. Anthony Dollar Act
became law illustrates the strong role politics played in its mintage.
 The design of United States coins can be traced to the Mint Act of
April 2, 1792, which required all to bear a portrait symbolic of
liberty.  For more than 115 years, allegorical female figures known
simply as "Miss Liberty" represented this ideal."
