The New Dollar coin will feature the design that includes
Sacagawea and her infant son Jean Baptiste.  Thanks to all
interested people that voted for the image that showed a
working mother who breastfeed her infant and practiced
attachment parenting.

The following is the text from the US Mint website.

The Dollar Coin's Obverse Design
By Glenna Goodacre depicts the young Shoshone woman,
Sacagawea, portrayed in three-quarter profile. In the
Shoshone verbal legend, Sacagawea is described as having
large dark eyes, a feature included in this portrait
relief. On her back, Sacagawea carries her infant son Jean
Baptiste, who she carried and cared for on her entire
3,000-mile portion of the expedition with Lewis and Clark.
