In 2026, the United States will issue a commemorative one-dollar coin dedicated to Steve Jobs — the visionary entrepreneur and co-founder of Apple Inc., widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the tech industry.

This decision comes 15 years after his passing in 2011. The coin is part of a federal program that annually recognizes individuals and achievements that have left a lasting mark on society.

The design will feature a young Steve Jobs seated in a serene California landscape — the state where he was born, launched Apple, and spent much of his life.

The 2026 edition will also include coins honoring agronomist Norman Borlaug, known for his innovations in grain crop productivity, and the team behind the Cray-1 supercomputer, which revolutionized high-performance computing.

Steve Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976 alongside Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Under his leadership, iconic devices such as the iPhone, iPad, and Mac redefined personal technology and transformed how people interact with the digital world.

A ceremony for laying the foundation of a new urea plant was held in the Guvlymayak gengeshlik of the Turkmenbashi etrap in Balkan velayat, reports the newspaper "Neutral Turkmenistan."

The plant's designed capacity will be 1 million 155 thousand tons of mineral fertilizers per year. Construction is being carried out on behalf of the state concern "Türkmenhimiýa" by the Japanese company Mitsubishi in partnership with the Turkish company Gap İnşaat.

As noted by the speakers, urea is an export-oriented product capable of replacing imported mineral fertilizers.

The choice of the site in the western region is due to its proximity to the raw material base: natural gas is extracted along the Turkmen coast of the Caspian Sea, which is essential for production.

The construction of the new plant also has social significance: its commissioning will create additional jobs, contributing to the improvement of the local population's well-being.
