Several people are depicted on the one-dollar coins issued by the U.S. Mint:
- Presidential $1 Coin Program: This series, launched in 2007, features the portraits of deceased U.S. presidents on the obverse (front) of the coins.
- Sacagawea Golden Dollar: Introduced in 2000, this coin features Sacagawea, a Shoshone Indian guide who assisted the Lewis and Clark expedition, and her infant son, Jean Baptiste, on the obverse.
- Susan B. Anthony Dollar: Issued in 1979 (and again in 1999), this coin features women’s rights activist Susan B. Anthony on the obverse.
In addition, the Native American $1 Coin Program , which began in 2009, features Sacagawea on the obverse while the reverse (back) changes annually to honor the contributions of Native Americans to U.S. history.

Who was on the $1 coin before Sacagawea?
I can help with that. Sacagawea, the famous Shoshone woman and explorer, has appeared on U.S. dollar coins since 2000. She replaced Susan B. Anthony, who briefly graced the coin from 1979-1981 and 1999. Before that, President Dwight Eisenhower was featured on larger dollar coins from 1971-1978.
