Presidential dollar coins (authorized by Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 109–145 (text) (PDF), 119 Stat. 2664, enacted December 22, 2005) are a series of United States dollar coins with engravings of relief portraits of U.S. presidents on the obverse and the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World) on the reverse.

From 2007 to 2011, Presidential dollar coins were minted for circulation in large numbers, resulting in a large stockpile of unused $1 coins. From 2012 to 2016, new coins in the series were minted only for collectors.[1] A new coin was released on December 4, 2020, to honor George H. W. Bush, who died after the original program ended.[2][3]
