Presidential Dollar Coins

The Presidential Dollar Coin program, initiated by the United States Mint in 2007, honors American presidents and their contributions. Starting with George Washington, the program released four $1 presidential coins annually, following the order of the presidents' terms. This approach not only supported collectors in tracking their collections but also sparked widespread interest in American history. The series serves as an educational tool, encouraging citizens to learn about the nation's leaders and their roles in shaping American democracy.

The coin series was established by the Presidential $1 Coin Act, signed into law on December 26, 2005. The act aimed to honor former U.S. presidents by issuing a series of golden-colored coins, each depicting a different president in the order they served. The legislation intended to celebrate American history and promote the use of $1 presidential coins in transactions. Amendments like the Coin Modernization, Oversight, and Continuity Act of 2010 enhanced production flexibility and addressed public disinterest in dollar coins. Despite legislative backing, the coins faced distribution challenges as people preferred paper currency, leading to many coins being stored rather than circulated.
