United States Mint Announces 2012 Presidential$1 Coin Designs

 

 

1 The United States Mint, created by Congress in 1792, is the Nation’s

unique manufacturer of dollars (bills and coins), so that the country

can conduct its trade and commerce. In addition to producing currency, the United

States Mint also produces uncirculated and commemorative coins;

Congressional Gold Medals; and silver, gold and platinum coins.

6 Today the United States Mint announced the new designs that will

appear on the Presidential $1 Coins in 2012. Each coin has two sides:

the heads and the tails. The obverse (heads sides) of the coins will

bear portraits of former Presidents Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland

(first term), Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland (second term).

11 Inscriptions on the obverse of each coin include the President’s name,

the years of his term in office, a number indicating the order in which

he served, and the inscription IN GOD WE TRUST. The portraits of

Chester Arthur and Grover Cleveland were designed and sculpted by

United States Mint culptor-Engraver Don Everhart. The portrait of

Benjamin Harrison was designed and sculpted by United States Mint

Sculptor-Engraver Phebe Hemphill.

17 All coins in the Presidential $1 Coin Program bear a common reverse

(tails side) featuring the iconic Statue of Liberty, designed and

sculpted byEverhart. Inscriptions on the reverse are $1 and UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA. The year of minting, or issuance, E PLURIBUS

UNUM and the mint mark are incused on the edge of the coins.

22  The Presidential $1 Coin Program is authorized by Public Law 109-145.

Although production of circulating Presidential $1 Coins will soon be

suspended, collectible versions of the coin will continue to be available

in select United States Mint offerings. For information on the

availability and pricing of products featuring Presidential $1 Coins, visit
