Dollar Coin Redux
So it seems the U.S. Mint will try once again to market a dollar coin to the American public. In an attempt to stave off the failure of the Susan B. Anthony and Sacajawea dollar coins, they'll try to make these more collectible by having four new designs each year, each with a different president on the face. If the new dollar coins turn out nicely as the recent nickel coin redesign , it's my opinion that that they may actually make it into active circulation (and perhaps save the U.S. taxpayer a substantial amount of dough spent on continually reprinting one dollar bills).
Presidential $1 Coin Act
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 United States Mint will mint and issue four Presidential $1 coins per year, and each will have a reverse design featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. These coins will have several features that are unique to United States circulating coinage. Although the size, weight and metal composition of the new Presidential $1 Coin will be identical to that of the Golden Dollar featuring Sacagawea, there are several unique features that make this new coin very distinctive.
