Different U.S. dollar coins feature different presidents (or, in the case of the Sacagawea dollar, a prominent figure from American history).
Here’s a breakdown:
- Presidential Dollar Coins (2007-2016, 2020): This series features deceased U.S. presidents in the order of their inauguration. Some examples include George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. While this series is no longer minted for general circulation, the coins are still available for collectors.
- Sacagawea Dollars (2000-present): This series features Sacagawea, the Shoshone guide who assisted the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Important note: While the Sacagawea dollars are sometimes referred to as “gold” dollars, they are not made of gold but of a manganese brass composition that gives them their golden color.
