I’m wondering in 2008 if demand for the $1 coin will increase any. In January of 2008 a new law goes into play stating something like federally funded institutions need to be able to accept and distribute the $1 coins.

I just like them for bribing my kids, I get a ton more traction with a “gold dollar” than with four quarters.

I’ve been using the date list at the US Mint website for information.

Nice blog. Too bad those stupid Snap preview things keep popping up. They drive me nuts.

This is true, but I think that it bodes well for Ronald Reagan getting a dollar. Carter was born in 1924.

I think the funnier aspect to that requirement is that in order to see Reagan on a dollar, we need to first see Carter on a dollar! Now, that would be truly tragic.

Actually got this from USATODAY explaining the coins – for those who were concerned seeing Ronnie on the quarters.
Note: Congress required that presidents be dead at least two years before they can be depicted on a dollar coin and that presidents be featured in the order they served. Ronald Reagan who died in 2004 cannot be pictured on a coin unless Jimmy Carter has been dead two years in 2016 when the program expires. Source: U.S. Mint

Hi Scott, Check out my other post on the published US Mint schedule for early 2007. The US Mint will be putting out a Presidential $1 Dollar Coin Proof Set on February 15th. The price has not yet been announced, but given that they are not silver coins, I would assume the price will be around $15 a set.

Have you heard anything about if there will be a 4-coin proof set of the 4 Presidential coins for this year and if so how many they will produce? Thanks for your info!

I think you’re making a very good point there

With this ruling, they just may tie the $1 coin to the removal of the $1 bill:

Steve,

Good question. I’ve seen on the eBay Coins boards reference to some sort of survey that was sent out to coin dealers. Apparently, the US Mint is considering several options:
1) Using standard metal versions in the proof sets.
2) Providing special silver versions in the silver proof sets.
3) Some combination of the above.

It seems the US Mint is getting a little heavy handed with creating multiple versions. Look at the 20th Anniversary Eagles – there are silver proof, silver uncirculated, and reverse proof versions.

We’ll see!

Will they make silver proof sets of the presidential dollars?

Hi Edgar,

I’m not sure that’s true, given the revenue advantages of the State Quarter program. However, I do think that there is a large group out there that will be very excited to get Reagan on a coin (witness the whole “Reagan Dime” phenomenon). This is why certain coins are going to appreciate in value quickly.

Would you really be against having Reagan on the dollar coin? Politics aside, given how successful his term was vs. the malaise of the 70s, can you really argue that Reagan deserves it less than Sacagawea? Talk about an obvious political move – there is no way that Sacagawea should rank in the Top 1000 people to include on a coin.

Take heart – if Jimmy Carter passes before 2016, we might see a Jimmy Carter dollar too! Of course, it will only be worth 20 cents.

You do know that the whole program is just an excuse to sneak Ronald Reagan onto legal tender?

No problem! I’m glad you like it. I just started blogging a couple of months ago, so I’m still figuring out what types of things people find interesting.

Take care,
