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. During an approximate 10-year period, each President will be featured on a dollar coin, but no coin may bear the image of a living former or current President. This program does NOT cost taxpayers any additional money and these coins are circulating currency good for use in commercial transactions.
