Under the Presidential Coin Act of 2005, the U.S. Mint is producing a new series of one-dollar coins. The series started in February 2007, and a new Presidential one-dollar coin is being minted about every three months that will feature the likeness of a previous President – starting first with George Washington and proceeding chronologically.

This program does NOT cost taxpayers any additional money.
