Presidential Dollar Release Dates

The Presidential Dollar release dates spanned from 2007 to 2016, featuring four designs annually, and an additional coin in 2020 as per separate legislation. Each coin paid tribute to a former U.S. President in their order of service.

The authorizing legislation for the program provided that Presidential Dollars would only be issued to honor deceased Presidents. No coin was authorized to be issued to honor any living, current, and any deceased former President during the two years following the date of death.

Presidents who served two non consecutive terms as President were entitled to two separate coins. The only President to fall into this category was Grover Cleveland, who appeared on two different coins in 2012—the Grover Cleveland 1st Term Presidential Dollar and the Grover Cleveland 2nd Term Presidential Dollar.

The following schedule lists the circulation release dates for coins of the series issued from 2007 to 2011. Starting in 2012, the release of Presidential Dollars for general circulation was suspended. Release dates for this and subsequent years indicate the date when the United States Mint first offered the circulation strike versions of the coin for sale within numismatic bags, rolls, and boxes.
