History
The Presidential Dollar Coin Program was established by the U.S. Mint to honor past presidents. James K.

The coins are minted at both the Philadelphia and Denver mints.
Facts
These dollar coins are clad with a pure copper core and an outer layer of manganese brass, giving them a distinctive golden color. They are designed to be durable and are often collected for their representation of American history and the individuals who shaped the nation. The circulating dollars are common but collectors seek specific mint marks or error coins.
Value Fact
As common circulating coins, the value of these Presidential Dollars is typically face value. However, uncirculated examples from mint sets or proof sets can command a premium. Varieties, errors, or coins from specific early mintages might be of interest to collectors seeking to complete sets, with prices ranging from a few dollars to significantly more for rare examples.
