Presidential Dollar Coin

I recently learned that the U. S. Mint is going to try again the dollar coin concept.
The U.S. Mint has unveiled this past week, the first designs for the new Presidential Dollar Coin program. The new coins will feel identitcal to the Sacagawea coins that begun production a few years ago.
Like the state quarter program, there will be 4 $1 dollar coins issued each year in the order that they served.
For some reason, the American public just doesn’t like dollar coins. If you ask me, they will never catch on, until all $1 bills are pulled out of circulation, leaving the coin coin as the publics only choice for $1 currency.

The United States is honoring our Nation's Presidents by issuing $1 circulating coins featuring their images in the order that they served, beginning with Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison in 2007. The United States Mint will mint and issue four Presidential $1 coins per year, and each will have a reverse design featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. The composition of the new Presidential $1 Coins will be identical to that of the Golden Dollar featuring Sacagawea.

The Presidential $1 Coin Act (Public Law 109-145) seeks to revitalize the design of United States coins and return circulating coinage to its position as an object of aesthetic beauty in its own right. Accordingly, the new Presidential $1 coins will feature larger, more dramatic artwork, as well as edge-incused inscriptions of the year of minting or issuance, "E Pluribus Unum," "In God We Trust" and the mint mark.
