Presidential Coins
Coin Collection – US Presidential $1 Coins
Commemorative coins usually have low mintages because they are made for sale at a premium to coin collectors. Thus, the general public remains unaware of the coin and whatever message it seeks to convey unless they spend the money to buy the coin.Governments around the world have come to understand the value of circulating commemorative coins.
In 2007, the U.S. Mint began issuing a series of circulating Presidential $1 Coins as a way of honoring the American presidents, from George Washington all the way through to Gerald Ford. (It isn’t issuing coins for former presidents who are still alive.)
Each coin will have a different obverse and a common reverse design featuring a freshly created rendition of the Statue of Liberty.The coins will feature larger artwork than similar coins made in the past, as well as inscriptions on the edge of the coins with the year of issuance, the words E Pluribus Unum and In God We Trust (which has only rarely been done by the U.S. Mint), and the mintmark (which has never before been done by the U.S. Mint).
The new coins weigh 8.1 grams and are made of a copper core with a manganese- brass jacket. The actual composition is 77 percent copper, 12 percent zinc, 7 percent manganese, and 4 percent nickel. The coins measure 26.5mm in diameter. (They’re the same size, weight, and metal composition of the Sacagawea Golden Dollar issued in 2000.)
The U.S. Mint will issue Presidential $1 Coins on the following schedule:
2007: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison
2008: James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and Martin Van Buren
2009: William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K. Polk, and Zachary Taylor
2010: Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, and Abraham Lincoln
2011: Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, and James A. Garfield
2012: Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, and Grover Cleveland (again — because Cleveland served as president from 1885 to 1889 and again from 1893 to 1897)
2013: William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson
2014: Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, and Franklin D. Roosevelt
2015: Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson
2016: Richard M. Nixon and Gerald Ford
