US Mint Circulating Presidential $1 Coin Production Figures by President
The United States Mint has updated the Presidential $1 Coin production figures through to the 20th Presidential coin honoring James Garfield. The next update will include Chester A. Arthur Presidential coin figures. Those should be available by March 2012.
The U.S. Mint Presidential Dollars series began in 2007 with a mintage of over 340 million coins honoring George Washington. Successive releases by President has resulted in a trend of fewer $1 coins minted for circulation.
2010 production went through a very noticeable decline, although the popularity of the Abraham Lincoln dollar caused a spike for that particular coin. The first 2011 release honoring Andrew Johnson is the most scarce of the series to date.
As the following table of coin production figures show, the U.S. Mint has minted more than 2.37 billion Presidential Dollar $1 coins.

The U.S. Mint started a new coin campaign in August of 2008 that promotes dollar coins for use in every day transactions.
The U.S. Mint also kicked off a Direct Ship program in June of 2008 to place $1 Presidential Coins directly into the hands of retailers, financial institutions, or anyone interested in buying dollar coins — all at face value and without shipping charges. These two initiatives have had some impact in Presidential $1 coin production.

Coin Production Monthly Articles
The links below offer the last three months of CoinNews.net articles discussing U.S. Mint monthly production figures, including new Presidential $1 coin figures.
U.S. Mint November 2011 Coin Production — More Chickasaw Quarters have been struck — by far — than any other America the Beautiful Quarter, U.S. Mint coin production figures for November reveal. Also unveiled were Garfield Presidential $1 mintages. No big surprise with those as they came pretty much in line with other recent issues in the Presidential $1 coin series.
U.S. Mint October 2011 Coin Production – Fewer coins were minted for circulation in October, the latest coin production figures from the United States Mint reveal. In keeping with past months, Lincoln cents kept Mint presses busiest. Pennies hurdled over the 4 billion milestone this year. Also of note, while the Mint is yet to call finalized mintages for Garfield Presidential $1 coins, it would appear they are at — or are very close to — a stopping point.
U.S. Mint September 2011 Coin Production – The amount of circulating coins coming out of the United States Mint surged last month, according to September coin production figures released by the government agency. The increase snaps two-straight monthly declines. Mintages were not revealed for James Garfield Presidential dollars or Chickasaw National Recreational Area quarters, the final 2011-dated coins set to enter circulation this year. The numbers do indicate, however, that the United States Mint is busy striking the Garfield dollars.
