Presidential Dollars were released at a rate of four designs per year from 2007 to 2015, with three designs released in the final year of the series in 2016. Separate legislation added one final coin to the series in 2020. Each coin within the series honored one of the former Presidents of the United States of America in the order served.

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 year period 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 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.
