In the United States the March of Dimes is a national voluntary health charity founded in 1938 by United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to defeat the epidemic disease polio, which killed or paralyzed thousands of Americans during the first half of the 20th century.
Then, on April 12, 1955, the March of Dimes held a news conference to announce to the world that a polio vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk was both safe and effective.
The March of Dimes believes it is uniquely qualified by its history to take on some of the biggest threats to the health of today's babies and children, the first generation of the 21st century.
Roosevelt dimes coined at the mints in Denver and San Francisco have always been identified by letters D and S, respectively, except during the years 1965-67 when these mintmarks were omitted.
All three mints made dimes for circulation through 1955; in March of that year, San Francisco ceased the minting of coins, and for the next ten years its mint was used exclusively as an assay office.
Coinage of proofs was suspended with the adoption of copper-nickel clad dimes in 1965.
