A lot of people don't know this, but in 2007 the U.S. Mint started minting $1
Coins featuring all the Presidents of the United States.
Each year, 4 Presidents will be honored on genuine U.S. Currency!
Why haven't they shown up in your change?
Because each coin
is only minted for 12 weeks and they are so popular that they are bought up
by collectors before they even get to the public.
About the U.S. Presidential Dollar
Coin Series
The United States is honoring our Nation’s Presidents by issuing
$1
circulating coins featuring their images in the order that they served,
beginning with Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison in 2007.
The Presidential $1 Coin Act seeks to revitalize the design of United States
coins and return circulating coinage to its position as an object of aesthetic
beauty in its own right. Accordingly, these new coins will
feature larger, more dramatic artwork.
The United States Mint will mint and
issue 4 Presidential $1 coins per year, and each will have a reverse design
featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty.
These coins will
feature larger, more dramatic artwork, as well as edge-incused inscriptions of
the year of minting or issuance, "E Pluribus Unum," "In God We Trust" and the
mint mark.
The Golden Presidential Dollar is 8.1 grams in weight, 2 mm thick,
and 26.5 mm in diameter.
The coins physical makeup is a three-layer clad
construction - pure copper sandwiched between and metallurgically bonded to
outer layers of manganese brass.
These coins are called
"Golden Dollars" as they have a goldish color just like the Sacagawea
Dollars.
