Found the answer, but with weird twists in the context of the new Covid-19 driven reality:
Bats (possible source of virus which crossed over to humans) are part of the design of newly minted quarters (released in February, 2020). These quarters commemorate the National Park of American Samoa.

The bats depicted, however, are
fruit bats from Samoa. They have no connection to Covid and are necessary to the pollination of trees in Samoa's rain forest. Without these bats (which are endangered, like so many other creatures that are not cockroaches or us), the rain forest could perish.
Apparently enough people took the bat design as "proof" that sinister forces deep within the US government were behind the Covid pandemic, that disclaimers were needed:

Personally, I don't think any government anywhere at anytime would be organized enough to unleash a killer virus and benefit by it. Governments and their agencies are all run by humans after all. Same for those contrail things.
