Facts
The Presidential Dollar Coin Program, launched in 2007, honors former U.S. Presidents in the order they served. These coins are notable for their edge-incused inscriptions, which include the year of minting and "E Pluribus Unum," a departure from traditional minting practices. They are also made of a unique clad composition for increased durability.
