Dollar coins honoring former U.S. Presidents have been issued since 2007 with the series scheduled to continue until at least 2016. Next year’s dollars will have obverse designs featuring:

  • Warren G. Harding, the 29th President
  • Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President
  • Herbert Hoover, the 31st President
  • Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President

As directed by the Treasury Secretary on Dec. 13, 2011, Presidential $1 Coins and Native American $1 Coins are no longer produced for circulation. Circulating-quality dollars are now struck only for numismatic purposes with the U.S. Mint selling them within 25-coin rolls, 100-coin bags, 250-coin boxes and 500-coin boxes. Release dates for these products are not yet available. Typically, new dollars are released at about three-month intervals throughout the year beginning in February.
