The United States is honoring the nation's past presidents with the circulation of presidential $1 coins featuring their images in the order that they served, beginning in 2007 with Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison.
The United States Mint will issue four presidential $1 coins a year. An image of the Statue of Liberty will be on the flip-side of each coin. The composition of the new coins will be identical to that of the golden dollar featuring Sacagawea.
Coins honoring Thomas Jefferson and James Madison will be available later in the year.
