Presidential Dollars

A new series of circulating dollar coins was launched in 2007 to honor the presidents of the United States. Each year, four coins of the series are released with different obverse designs featuring the portraits of the presidents. The reverse design displays the Statue of Liberty and will be used throughout the series.

The Presidential Dollars also incorporate special edge lettering. This is currently the only circulating US coin to use edge lettering. The lettering includes the date, mint mark, the motto "E Pluribus Unum," and the motto "In God We Trust."

This edge lettering has also produced a number of unique errors. This is the result of the two step process needed to produce the coins. Coins are fed into a machine which strikes the obverse and reverse in the first step. The struck coins are then fed into an edge lettering machine in the second step. Potential errors include missing edge lettering, doubled edge lettering, or lettered blank planchets.

For 2007, the Presidents include George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. For 2008, the Presidents include James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and Martin Van Buren.
