On November 20, 2006, Americans saw a bold new look for circulating coinage when we shared the first four designs in the new Presidential $1 Coin Program with the public. By moving many of the inscriptions to the edge of the coins, we are able to feature larger, more dramatic artwork to honor the leaders of our Nation. In 2007, we will release the George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison $1 Coins. The reverse design, a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty, will remain constant throughout the program.

Beginning in February, check your change for these new circulating coins, and watch your inbox for the latest information on the many collectible options we will offer. To make sure you are always in the know about this exciting new series, subscribe to our Presidential $1 Coin newsletter today.

Before there was a United States Mint, before there were even states, there was New England. This collection of British colonies along the Atlantic coast found it necessary to make their own coins, contrary to the King's law. Read about a short-lived but crucial American first as Peter the Mint Eagle presents the December Coin of the Month.

This holiday season is the perfect time to remember one of America's first numismatic gifts: Legend has it that Martha Washington donated some of her personal silverware to make the Nation's first silver coinage.
