17 U.S. Code § 105(a) provides that "the United States Government is not precluded from receiving and holding copyrights transferred to it by assignment, bequest, or otherwise". In this case, the coin sides were designed by AIP artists. According to their contract United States Mint, these artists are contractors ("The Contractor shall create and submit one or more original designs...") and the rights to their designs are assigned to the mint ("All design submissions to the United States Mint shall be assigned to the United States Mint and will become its sole and exclusive property.").
