'''Presidential dollar coins''' (authorized by {{USStatute|109|145|119|2664|2005|12|22}}) are a series of [[Dollar coin (United States)|United States dollar coins]] with engravings of relief portraits of [[List of presidents of the United States|U.S. presidents]] on the obverse and the [[Statue of Liberty]] (''Liberty Enlightening the World'') on the reverse.

From 2007 to 2011, presidential dollar coins were minted for circulation in large numbers, resulting in an ample stockpile of unused $1 coins. From 2012 to 2016, new coins in the series were minted only for [[coin collecting|collectors]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Presidential $1 Coin Program |url=https://www.usmint.gov/learn/coin-and-medal-programs/presidential-dollar-coin |website=USMint.gov |date=June 6, 2016 |access-date=4 April 2019}}</ref>  A new coin was released on December 4, 2020, to honor [[George H.

==Legislative history==
{{USBill|109|S|1047}}, the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, was introduced on May 17, 2005, by Senator [[John E. Sununu]] with over 70 cosponsors. It was reported favorably out of the [[U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs]] without amendment on July 29, 2005. The Senate passed it with a technical amendment ({{USBill|109|s.amdt.|2676}}), by [[unanimous consent]] on November 18, 2005.  The [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] passed it (291–113)<ref>{{USHVote|2005|624}}</ref> on December 13, 2005 (a similar bill, H.R. 902, had previously passed in the House, but it was the Senate bill which was passed by both chambers).  The [[enrolled bill]] was presented to president [[George W. Bush]] on December 15, 2005, and he signed it into law on December 22, 2005.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/109th-congress/senate-bill/1047|title=S.1047 - 109th Congress (2005-2006): Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005|first=John E.|last=Sununu|date=22 December 2005|website=www.congress.gov}}</ref>

==Program details==
The program began on January 1, 2007, and, like the [[50 State quarters]] program, was not scheduled to end until every eligible subject was honored.  The program was to issue coins featuring each of four presidents per year on the obverse, issuing one for three months before moving on to the next president in chronological order by term in office.  To be eligible, a president must have been deceased for at least two years prior to the time of minting.<ref>At the time the series ended in 2016, former presidents Carter, George H. W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush, and then-current President Obama, were still alive, and thus are not represented on series issues.</ref> The [[United States Mint]] called it the Presidential $1 Coin Program.<ref>{{cite web |author=The United States Mint |url=http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/index.cfm |title=The United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Program |work=usmint.gov |date=2010-03-23 |access-date=2010-11-03 |archive-date=December 5, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101205130120/http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/index.cfm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The reverse of the coins bears the [[Statue of Liberty]] (formally ''Liberty Enlightening the World''), the inscription "$1" and the inscription "United States of America" in [[all caps]], in the font [[ITC Benguiat]]. Inscribed along the edge of the coin is the year of minting or issuance of the coin, the mint mark, 13 stars, and also the legend {{lang|la|[[E Pluribus Unum]]}} in the following arrangement: {{small|★★★★★★★★★★&nbsp;&nbsp;(mint&nbsp;year)&nbsp;&nbsp;(mint&nbsp;mark)&nbsp;&nbsp;★★★&nbsp;&nbsp;E&nbsp;PLURIBUS&nbsp;UNUM}}; before 2009, the national motto "[[In God We Trust]]" was also part of the edge lettering. The word "[[Liberty]]" is absent from the coin altogether, since the decision was made that the image of the Statue of Liberty on the reverse of the coin was sufficient to convey the message of liberty. The text of the act does not specify the color of the coins, but per the U.S. Mint "the specifications will be identical to those used for the current Golden dollar".<ref>[http://www.usmint.gov/downloads/Whats_New/News_Views/2006-04.pdf Presidential dollar coin series being developed], United States Mint News & Views, [[David A. Lebryk]], Acting Director, April 2006</ref> The [[George Washington]] $1 coin was first available to the public on February 15, 2007, in honor of [[Presidents' Day (United States)|Washington's Birthday]], which was observed on February 19.

This marked the first time since the [[St. Gaudens Double Eagle]] (1907–1933) that the United States had issued a coin with [[edge lettering]] for circulation. Edge-lettered coins date back to the 1790s.  The process was started to discourage the [[coin clipping|shaving]] of gold coin edges, a practice which was used to cheat payees. In December 2007, Congress passed {{USBill|110|HR|2764}}, moving "In God We Trust" to either the obverse or reverse of the coins.<ref>{{USBill|110|HR|2764}} ({{USPL|110|161}}) amends {{uscsub|31|5112|n|2}} to remove "In God We Trust" from the edge and adds it to the obverse or reverse (signed December 27, 2007 by [[George W. Bush]], and effective as soon as practical by the [[United States Secretary of the Treasury|Secretary of the Treasury]]): {{blockquote|
SEC. 623. (a) In General- Section 5112(n)(2) of title 31, United States Code, is amended--

(1) in subparagraph (C)(i)--

(A) by striking 'inscriptions' and inserting 'inscription'; and

(B) by striking 'In God We Trust'; and

(2) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:

`(F) INSCRIPTION OF 'IN GOD WE TRUST'- The design on the obverse or the reverse shall bear the inscription 'In God We Trust'.'.
}}</ref>
This is the same bill that created a program that included quarters for [[Washington, D.C.]], [[Puerto Rico]], [[Northern Mariana Islands]], [[Guam]], the [[U.S. Virgin Islands]], and [[American Samoa]].

The act had been introduced because of the failure of the [[Sacagawea $1 coin]] to gain widespread circulation in the United States.  The act sympathized with the need of the nation's private sector for a $1 coin, and expected that the appeal of changing the design would increase the public demand for new coins, as the public generally responded well to the state quarter program.  The program was also intended to help educate the public about the nation's presidents and their history. In case the coins did not catch on with the general public, then the [[United States Mint|mint]] leaders hoped that [[coin collecting|collectors]] would be as interested in the dollars as they were with the state quarters,<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gibbs |first1=William T. |title=The Presidential dollar series: Failure or success? |url=https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-coins/failure-or-success-collecting-presidential-dollars.html |website=coinworld.com |publisher=Amos Media Company |access-date=5 May 2024}}</ref> which generated about $6.3&nbsp;billion in [[seigniorage]] (''i.e.,''  the difference between the face value of the coins and the cost to produce them) between January 1999 and December 2008.<ref>{{cite web |title=50 State Quarters Program Earned $6.3 Billion in Seigniorage |url=http://news.coinupdate.com/state-quarters-program-seigniorage-0133/ |website=news.coinupdate.com |publisher=Coin Update |access-date=18 August 2019 |archive-date=July 8, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708175222/http://news.coinupdate.com/state-quarters-program-seigniorage-0133/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[File:George stack.JPG|thumb|Stack showing edge lettering]]
Unlike the state quarter program and the [[Nickel (U.S. coin)#Westward Journey|Westward Journey nickel series]], which suspended the issuance of the current design during those programs, the act directed the Mint to continue to issue [[Sacagawea dollar]] coins during the presidential series. The law states that at least one in three issued dollars must be a Sacagawea dollar. Furthermore, the Sacagawea design was required to continue after the presidential coin program ended. These requirements were added at the behest of the [[North Dakota]] congressional delegation to ensure that Sacagawea, whom North Dakotans consider to be one of their own, ultimately remains on the dollar coin.

However, Federal Reserve officials indicated to Congress that "if the Presidential $1 Coin Program does not stimulate substantial transactional demand for dollar coins, the requirement that the Mint nonetheless produce Sacagawea dollars would result in costs to the taxpayer without any offsetting benefits."  In that event, the Federal Reserve indicated that it would "strongly recommend that Congress reassess the one-third requirement."<ref>[http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/testimony/2006/20060719/default.htm Louise L. Roseman, Director, Division of Reserve Bank Operations and Payment Systems] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061117035242/http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/testimony/2006/20060719/default.htm |date=2006-11-17 }}</ref> The one-third requirement was later changed to one-fifth by the [[Native American $1 Coin Act]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/nativeamerican/Legislation.pdf |title=Public Law 110–82, the "Native American $1 Coin Act" |date=September 20, 2007 |access-date=August 7, 2013 |archive-date=November 23, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151123033815/http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/nativeamerican/Legislation.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> passed on September 20, 2007.

Previous versions of the act called for removing from circulation dollar coins issued before the Sacagawea dollar, most notably the [[Susan B. Anthony dollar]], but the version of the act which became law merely directs the [[United States Secretary of the Treasury|Secretary of the Treasury]] to study the matter and report back to Congress.  The act required federal government agencies (including the [[United States Postal Service]]), businesses operating on federal property, and federally funded transit systems to accept and dispense dollar coins by January 2008, and to post signs indicating that they do so.<ref>{{cite web|author=The United States Mint |url=http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/index.cfm?action=RemoveBarrier |title=The United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Program |work=usmint.gov |access-date=2010-11-03}}</ref>

===Production===
The composition continued that of the Sacagawea dollar: a cladding of [[manganese brass]] (containing about 77% copper, 12% [[zinc]], 7% [[manganese]], and 4% nickel) over a pure copper core.<ref name="redbook">{{Cite book| last = Yeoman| first = R.S.| author-link = R.S.

=== Minting errors ===
On March 8, 2007, the United States Mint announced, that on February 15, 2007, an unknown number of [[George Washington]] presidential $1 coins were released into circulation without their edge inscriptions (the U.S. mottos, "In God We Trust" and "{{lang|la|E pluribus unum}}", the coin's mint mark, and its year of issuance; i.e. {{nowrap|{{sc|E PLURIBUS UNUM  •  IN GOD WE TRUST  •  2007   X}}}} (where {{sc|X}} is either [[Philadelphia Mint|{{Sc|P}}]] or [[Denver Mint|{{Sc|D}}]])). Ron Guth, of the [[Professional Coin Grading Service]], estimated at least 50,000 coins were released without the edge inscriptions. The first such coin discovered was sold on [[eBay]] for {{val|p=$|600}}, while later coins were selling for {{val|p=$|40|–|60}}, as of late March 2007.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.denverpost.com/2007/03/07/u-s-mint-goof-some-new-dollar-coins-missing-in-god-we-trust/|title=U.S. Mint goof: Some new dollar coins missing "In God We Trust"|publisher=[[The Denver Post]]|date=March 7, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=press_release&ID=755|title=A Statement from the United States Mint|publisher=[[United States Mint]]|date=March 7, 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070326120331/http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?flash=no&action=press_release&ID=755|archive-date=March 26, 2007}}</ref> Because one of the inscriptions missing from the coins is the motto "In God we trust", some articles on the subject have referred to them as "godless dollars".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/godless-dollar-coins-slip-through-mint/|title="Godless" Dollar Coins Slip Through Mint|publisher=CBS News|date=March 7, 2007|author=David S Morgan|access-date=November 3, 2010|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130518052505/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/03/07/national/main2543125.shtml?source=RSSattr=HOME_2543125|archive-date=May 18, 2013}}</ref> Fake versions have also been produced with the edge lettering filed off.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/03/22/collectors_report_fake_godless_dollars/|title=Collectors report fake 'Godless' dollars|first=Patrick|last=Walters|newspaper=The Boston Globe|date=March 22, 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071022203414/http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/03/22/collectors_report_fake_godless_dollars/|archive-date=October 22, 2007}}</ref>

Also, John Adams presidential dollars have been discovered with plain edges. They are fewer in quantity than George Washington plain-edge dollars, making them rarer, thus more expensive. A more frequently encountered edge lettering error for the John Adams dollar is a coin with doubled edge lettering. This error occurs when a coin passes through the edge lettering machine twice.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/462/|title=Presidential $1 Error Coins: John Adams|publisher=[[Numismatic Guaranty Corporation]]}}</ref> Most examples of the doubled-edge-letter John Adams dollar are from the Philadelphia Mint; Denver Mint issues are comparatively scarce. They are seen in two varieties: 1) with both edge lettering inscriptions reading in the same direction, called "overlapped", and 2) with the two inscriptions running in opposite directions—i.e., inverted or upside-down relative to one another—called "inverted".

In early March 2007, a Colorado couple found a dollar coin which had not been struck with a die pair (missing the portrait of the president and the Statue of Liberty), but with edge lettering on the otherwise-blank planchet.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archive.boston.com/news/odd/articles/2007/03/14/colo_couple_find_faceless_dollar_coin/|title=Faceless dollar coin found near Denver|first=Chase|last=Squires|newspaper=The Boston Globe|date=March 14, 2007}}</ref>

Some of the coins have the words on the rim struck upside down (president face up). These are not minting errors, but rather a variation created by the minting process. Such upside-down coins have been sold on auction websites like eBay and Amazon for greater than their face value, though they represent roughly 50% of the minted population.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.washingtondollarerrors.com/|title=WashingtonDollarErrors.com (Defunct)|website=discussed a variety of actual and rumored minting errors|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070410121101/http://www.washingtondollarerrors.com/|archive-date=April 10, 2007}}</ref>

By the end of 2022, the stockpile of $1 coins was reduced to 888 million.

==First spouse program==
[[File:Ed Moy and First Lady Bush.jpg|thumb|Director of [[United States Mint]] [[Edmund C. Moy]] and [[First Lady of the United States|First Lady]] [[Laura Bush]] at the unveiling of [[Dolley Madison]]'s first spouse coin on November 19, 2007]]
The United States has honored the spouses of each of the presidents honored by the Presidential $1 Coin Act by issuing half-ounce $10 gold coins featuring their images, in the order they served as first spouse, beginning in 2007. All first spouses have been women (often called [[First Lady of the United States|first ladies]]).

The obverse of these coins feature portraits of the nation's first spouses, their names, the dates and order of their terms as first spouse, as well as the year of minting or issuance, and the words "In God We Trust" and "Liberty".  The United States Mint issued the first spouse gold coins on the same schedule as the presidential $1 coins issued honoring the presidents.  Each coin has a unique reverse design featuring an image emblematic of that spouse's life and work, as well as the words "The United States of America", "E Pluribus Unum", "$10", "1/2 oz.", and ".9999 fine gold".

When a president served unmarried, as four presidents did, a gold coin was issued bearing an obverse image emblematic of [[Liberty (goddess)|Liberty]] as depicted on a circulating coin of that era, and bearing a reverse image emblematic of themes of that president.  One exception is the coin depicting [[suffragist]] [[Alice Paul]] which represents the era of the [[Chester A. Arthur]] presidency, as Arthur was a widower.

The act, as written, explicitly states that the first spouse coins are to be released at the same time as their respective $1 presidential coins.<ref>{{uscsub|31|5112|o|5|A}} says:
{{blockquote|IN GENERAL- The bullion coins issued under this subsection with respect to any spouse of a President shall be issued on the same schedule as the $1 coin issued under subsection (n) with respect to each such President.}}</ref> Because the act links a first spouse's eligibility for a coin to that of the presidential spouse, it means that a living first spouse could have appeared on a coin; this did not happen, though Nancy Reagan died only a few months before the release of her coin.

The United States Mint launched these coins officially at 12 pm EDT on June 19, 2007.
They provided two versions of the coin: a [[proof coin|proof]] version for [[US dollar|$]]429.95 and an [[uncirculated coin|uncirculated]] version for [[US dollar|$]]410.95.

The United States Mint also produces and makes available to the public bronze medal duplicates of the first spouse gold coins which are not legal tender.<ref>U.S. Mint: [http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/firstSpouse/ First Spouse Program] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070107215648/http://www.usmint.gov/mint%255Fprograms/firstSpouse/ |date=January 7, 2007 }}. Accessed 2008-06-27. "The United States Mint also produces and make available to the public bronze medal duplicates of the First Spouse Gold Coins."</ref> In February 2009 ''[[Coin World]]'' reported that some 2007 Abigail Adams medals were struck using the reverse from the 2008 Louisa Adams medal.<ref name=mule>{{cite journal |last= Gilkes |first= Paul |date= 2009-02-16 |title=First Spouse medals set holds Adams mule |journal=Coin World |volume= 50 |issue= 2549 |page= 1 |quote= Some collectors have begun receiving a First Spouse medal mule - a piece bearing the obverse for Abigail Adams and a reverse intended for the Louisa Adams medal. The mules surfaced in some of the 2007 First Spouse sets …}}</ref> These pieces, called [[mule (coin)|mules]], were contained within the 2007 first spouse medal set.<ref name=mule/>

Although the First Spouse program ended in 2016, it was continued in 2020 to honor [[Barbara Bush]].<ref name=":0" />

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Due to volatility in the gold market, the U.S. Mint lowered the price to $549.95 on November 12, 2008, to more accurately reflect the current spot price of gold. This however constantly changed as the price of gold changed. The mint used pricing range tables to adjust pricing of gold coin: [https://catalog.usmint.gov/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-USM-Library/default/dw094eed1e/images/PDFs/2016-Pricing-Grid-Numismatic-Gold-and-Platinum.pdf 2016 Pricing Grid]

† Chester A. Arthur's wife [[Ellen Lewis Herndon Arthur|Ellen]] died before he succeeded to the presidency.  Since there was no first lady during his presidency, the act explicitly states that [[Alice Paul]], who was born during his term, would appear on this coin.<ref name="Alice Paul USC" />  Since Paul was never first lady, the coin does not have a served date.

==Other provisions==
The act also has two other provisions, for the following:
* Issuance of a $50 [[gold bullion|bullion]] [[American Buffalo (coin)|coin]] reproducing the 1913 [[buffalo nickel]] designed by [[James Earle Fraser (sculptor)|James Earle Fraser]]. See [[American Buffalo (coin)]]
* Redesign of the reverse of the [[Lincoln cent]] in 2009 to show four different scenes from [[Abraham Lincoln]]'s life in honor of the [[Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial|bicentennial]] of his birth. These four scenes are:
*# his birth and early childhood in [[Kentucky]]
*# his formative years in [[Indiana]]
*# his professional life in [[Illinois]]
*# his presidency in [[Washington, D.C.]]

In 2009, [[numismatic]] cents that have the metallic copper content of cents minted in 1909 were issued for collectors.

{{further|Penny (United States coin)#Lincoln Bicentennial cents (2009)}}

Since 2010, another redesigned reverse for the Lincoln cent is being minted; this "shall bear an image emblematic of President Lincoln's preservation of the United States of America as a single and united country", and replaced the [[Lincoln Memorial]] reverse in use from 1959 to 2008.
