In early 2000 General Mills inserted 5,500 Sacagawea dollars into Cheerios cereal boxes as a promotion. Of these, a small number — fewer than 75 confirmed — feature an enhanced reverse design with detailed tail feathers on the eagle. These 'Cheerios Dollars' have sold for over $25,000.
The Cheerios variety has a distinctly enhanced reverse showing detailed, prominent tail feathers on the eagle. On a normal 2000-P Sacagawea dollar the tail feathers are simpler and less defined. Side-by-side comparison with reference photos is the best way to confirm.
Only 5,500 dollars were placed in Cheerios boxes, and most have been opened and the coins spent or lost. Of those, only a small fraction feature the enhanced reverse — the rest are normal 2000-P dollars. Fewer than 75 confirmed Cheerios reverse examples exist.
Authenticated Cheerios Dollar examples have sold for $5,000 to over $25,000. Coins still sealed in their original Cheerios packaging command additional premiums.
