The U.S. Mint’s state quarter program has been so successful that they’re going to try (and try again) to get us excited about dollar coins by issuing a series of the presidents in a new (new) redesign. A different president will appear every three months (Grover Cleveland gets to go twice for his nonconsecutive terms). A president will have to be deceased at least two years to be so honored and the schedule currently ends with Nixon in 2016, so it remains to be seen if Reagan supporters’ wish to have Reagan on currency will be fulfilled via this series. Let’s wish good health to former Presidents Ford and Carter! These coins are unique in that the edge will carry the date, mint mark, “E Pluribus Unum”, and “In God We Trust”, a technique that the mint does not often use. First spouses will be commemorated on the same release schedule with uncirculated gold $10 coins bearing their image and a reverse image symbolizing their life and work.
