The US Dime was revamped in 1946 to feature the image of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. President Roosevelt died early in his fourth term as President of the United States of America, a record that prompted an amendment to the Constitution mandating that all presidents must step down from office after two terms. Previously, presidents dating back to Washington had voluntarily stepped aside after two terms.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt is featured on the obverse side of the 90% Silver Roosevelt Dimes. The design captures Roosevelt in left-profile relief. The dime was chosen as the denomination on which to honor Roosevelt because he had helped launch the March of Dimes effort during the 1930s.
A torch is depicted on the reverse of the 90% Silver Roosevelt Dimes. This design is simplistic in nature and features Liberty’s torch with branches of oak and laurel flanking the design element on either side.
