Commemorative gold coins have been issued over the last two centuries. Jefferson's action effectively doubled the size of the United States, and secured U. Access to the all-important Mississippi River.

The other gold dollar bore the bust of William McKinley, who'd sanctioned the expo in 1901, not long before being assassinated. His vice president, Theodore Roosevelt, became president, and it was he who officially opened the exposition.

In 1805, President Jefferson selected William Clark and Meriwether Lewis to explore the newly acquired territory.
