Mint Reveals 2008 Presidential $1 Coin Designs
U.S. Mint Reveals What the New 2008 Presidential $1 Coins Will Look Like
WASHINGTON - Jingling in your pockets in 2008 will be Presidential Dollar Coins bearing the images of James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren-the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth Presidents of the United States. The United States Mint released photographs of the four coins today.
The United States Mint will be putting a new Presidential Dollar Coin into circulation every three months in 2008 beginning with the James Monroe Presidential Dollar Coin on February 14. The John Quincy Adams Presidential Dollar Coin will follow May 15. Then look for the Andrew Jackson Presidential Dollar Coin on August 14 and the Martin Van Buren Presidential Dollar Coin on November 13.
"We hope the next four Presidential Dollar Coins will not only jingle in pockets but be spent as well," said United States Mint Director Ed Moy. "These coins are convenient. Each Presidential Dollar Coin weighs less than four quarters, and they're especially useful for vending machines and mass transit."
The United States Mint is launching a business-to-business pilot program in metropolitan Washington, D.C., to increase the use of Presidential Dollar Coins and to stimulate business and bank customer demand nationwide.
