Today, the United States Mint started accepting orders for the new coin covers that feature 2015 Eisenhower Presidential dollars.

With a limited mintage of just 15,000 and priced at $19.95, this latest collectible product is the 34th issue in the U.S. Mint’s American Presidency $1 Coin Cover Series, and it honors Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower, the five-star general and 34th President of the United States.

This cover holds two circulating quality Eisenhower Presidential $1 Coins, with one minted at the Philadelphia Mint and another produced at the Denver Mint.

Both coins are from the first day of production at their respective striking locations. The first day of minting at Denver was December 15, 2014. A few days later, production started in Philadelphia on December 18, 2014. These two dollars are in a display card, which comes in an envelope bearing a Red, White, and Blue Forever® stamp.

On the back of cards is information about the president, the dollar coins, and the product itself.
