Denver's Minnesota Innovation dollar features the medical device design honoring the state's biomedical engineering leadership. Medtronic, St. Jude Medical, and Boston Scientific all built major operations in Minnesota, drawn by the proximity to the University of Minnesota and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The first successful open-heart surgery using a heart-lung machine was performed at the University of Minnesota in 1952 by Dr. F. John Lewis. The coin's reverse captures pacemaker and medical technology imagery representing an industry that generates over $20 billion in annual revenue from the Twin Cities region alone.
