New Dollar Coins In 2007

[jeffrey]

The U.S. Mint announced this week that it will produce a new $1 coin beginning February 15, 2007. It will remain the same size as the Susan B. Anthony and the Sacajawea dollar coins. It will be made of the same gold colored material as the Sacajawea dollar, but contain a new compound added to the metal to help keep it from tarnishing.




The new dollars will feature the past Presidents of the United States in order from George Washington to Richard M. Nixon and will say “$1” instead of “One Dollar” for the first time. To be placed on a coin, the president must have been dead two years, so the current list will end at Richard M. Nixon. Grover Cleveland, who served two non consecutive terms, will be featured on two different coins.

Each presidential dollar coin will be circulated for three months, and then the next one on the list will appear in sequence as follows:

2007

George Washington
John Adams
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison

2008

James Monroe
John Quincy Adams

In addition to the new dollar coins, 24-karat $10 pieces featuring the First Ladies will also be produced at the end of 2007 and the penny will be redesigned four times in 2009 to honor Abraham Lincoln.
