The Presidential $1 Coin Act (Public Law 109-145) was signed by the President on December 22, 2005, to commemorate the service of American presidents by issuing $1 coins at a rate of four per year, in the order of their service, beginning 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 be released in the order in which the President served in office, starting with beginning with Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison in 2007.


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.

According to tradition, no living president has ever appeared on a U.S. coin. The Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 specifically says that only Presidents who have been deceased for at least two years by the time their coin is due can be honored with a portrait coin.

Starting in 2009, the motto "In God we Trust" is moving to the front of the coin.


This program started in 2007 and will end in 2016.
