Moy; Louise Roseman, Director of Reserve Bank Operations and Payments Systems at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve; and other Federal officials provided a first glimpse of a new series of circulating Presidential $1 Coins at a design unveiling ceremony held today at the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery.The $1 coins were introduced as a result of the Presidential Coin Act of 2005, which requires the United States Mint to mint the dollar coins gememorating the service of former United States Presidents in the order in which they served.Like the United States Mint's successful 50 State Quarters Program on which it was modeled, the Presidential $1 Coin Program features a systematically rotating design. The first four $1 coins gememorate George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.Director Moy stated "The new Presidential $1 Coins are an educational and fun way to learn about former Presidents; our research indicates that, like the 50 State Quarters coins, the Presidential $1 Coins will be popular with millions of Americans."According to a study gemissioned by the United States Mint, about half of all Americans are interested in collecting the Presidential $1 Coins - but their appeal does not end with collecting."Congress recognized that the 50 State Quarters Program showed how a systematically changing design can spark public interest in a coin and we're hoping to build on that success," Director Moy said.
