| A new $1 coin is being introduced as a result of the | | | | bill all at the same time. When Thomas Jefferson has |
| Presidential Coin Act of 2005, which requires the | | | | his turn, he will appear on the dollar, but also the |
| United States Mint to mint the dollar coins | | | | current nickel and the two dollar bill. Yes, the two |
| commemorating the service of former United States | | | | dollar bill is still being produced. |
| Presidents in the order in which they served. In 2007, | | | | Below is the timeframe for the release of the new |
| the United States Mint will begin production of this | | | | dollar coins. |
| dollar coin for circulation. Set to be released around | | | | Year President Years Served |
| President's day 2007, will be a new dollar coin with | | | | 2007 |
| George Washington. Also in 2007, we will see a dollar | | | | 1 George Washington 1789-1797 |
| coin with the next three presidents which were John | | | | 2 John Adams 1797-1801 |
| Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. This | | | | 3 Thomas Jefferson 1801-1809 |
| release schedule is similar to the State Quarter | | | | 4 James Madison 1809-1817 |
| program. About once a quarter, we will see a new | | | | 2008 |
| design. Like the State Quarter program, the reverse | | | | 5 James Monroe 1817-1825 |
| of the coin will stay the same. The reverse of the | | | | 6 John Quincy Adams 1825-1829 |
| dollar coin will feature the Statue of Liberty, the | | | | 7 Andrew Jackson 1829-1837 |
| slogan "The United States of America" and a one and | | | | 8 Martin Van Buren 1837-1841 |
| dollar sign to signify its value of 1 dollar. | | | | 2009 |
| The new coins will be the same size as the existing | | | | 9 William Henry Harrison 1841 |
| Sacagawea dollar coin and will be the same gold color. | | | | 10 John Tyler 1841-1845 |
| It will be made of a copper-zinc-manganese-nickel | | | | 11 James K. Polk 1845-1849 |
| clad copper alloy. The surface of the coin will be | | | | 12 Zachary Taylor 1849-1850 |
| treated a little differently to slow the tarnishing | | | | 2010 |
| process which was a big criticism of the Sacagawea | | | | 13 Millard Fillmore 1850-1853 |
| dollar coin. The Sacagawea coin color was changed in | | | | 14 Franklin Pierce 1853-1857 |
| an attempt to answer criticisms of the Susan B | | | | 15 James Buchanan 1857-1861 |
| Anthony Dollar which people confused with a quarter. | | | | 16 Abraham Lincoln 1861-1865 |
| Unlike past coins, the obverse will not bear the | | | | 2011 |
| familiar "In God We Trust" or the date of the coin. | | | | 17 Andrew Johnson 1865-1869 |
| Instead, the issue year, mint mark and motto will | | | | 18 Ulysses S. Grant 1869-1877 |
| appear in the edge of the coin. Edge lettering has not | | | | 19 Rutherford B. Hayes 1877-1881 |
| been tried on an American coin since 1933. With the | | | | 20 James A. Garfield 1893-1897 |
| lettering now on the edge or side of the coin, the | | | | 2012 |
| portrait on the obverse will be a little larger than | | | | 21 Chester A. Arthur 1881-1885 |
| normal. | | | | 22 Grover Cleveland 1885-1889 |
| The new coins are expected to be popular with | | | | 23 Benjamin Harrison 1889-1893 |
| collectors. The State Quarter program introduced a | | | | 24 Grover Cleveland 1893-1897 |
| whole new generation to coin collecting and brought | | | | 2013 |
| non-active collectors back into collecting. | | | | 25 William McKinley 1897-1901 |
| By law, only those presidents who have been dead | | | | 26 Theodore Roosevelt 1901-1909 |
| for two or more years can appear on a coin. This | | | | 27 William H. Taft 1909-1913 |
| makes it likely that Bill Clinton and George W Bush will | | | | 28 Woodrow Wilson 1913-1921 |
| not appear on the coin as they will likely still be alive | | | | 2014 |
| when there turn comes about. Ronald Reagan, who | | | | 29 Warren Harding 1921-1923 |
| some people have been pushing for to replace | | | | 30 Calvin Coolidge 1923-1929 |
| Roosevelt on the dime, will now show up on a coin, | | | | 31 Herbert Hoover 1929-1933 |
| assume Ford and Carter die two years before their | | | | 32 Franklin Delano Roosevelt 1933-1945 |
| turn. Presidents who you would never think would | | | | 2015 |
| ever appear on a coin will now get that chance. | | | | 33 Harry S Truman 1945-1953 |
| An interesting fact is that Grover Cleveland will show | | | | 34 Dwight David Eisenhower 1953-1961 |
| up twice as he served two terms but they were not | | | | 35 John F. Kennedy 1961-1963 |
| consecutive. Additionally, George Washington will | | | | 36 Lyndon B. |
| appear on the new dollar coin, the quarter and dollar | | | | |
