He's a tough bird. I expect him to be around for a while longer and good for us -- he's a better ambassador than he was a President. Agreed. |

Even if Carter were to die today (no I'm not saying I would like for it to happen) he still wouldn't get a dollar coin. The series would end before the two year requirement was satisfied.

The Reagan coin portrait is different. Can't say I like it or not.
For 2016, they are doing three Presidential $1 Coins:
Richard M. Nixon
Gerald R. Ford
Ronald Reagan
Thanks for posting the image of the three coins, Fuzzy!  One thing I'll say about this year's three-coin presidential proof set is that it can serve as an excellent teaching tool for new numismatists by demonstrating what is meant by the design terminology of "Profile view," "Full face view," and "Three-quarter view" portraits!  |

no problem captainrich, finding the image on the US Mint's website was a little difficult so I figured it would help discussion if it was here. |

I would hope that Congress would pass quick legislation to allow a Carter dollar if something where to happen to him. However, congress is dysfunctional; I hope Carter lives a long time so they will not have to worry about (gasp) doing the right thing. |

What is the plan for the dollar coins going forward?
Are they going to make more sac dollars or start a new program?

I assume they will keep minting the Native American (Sacagawea) Dollars each year. They will remain NIFC until we finally dump the one dollar note.

I think it would be appropriate (yet potentially frustrating to collectors) if the U.S. Mint issued Presidential dollar coins after the passing of each POTUS going forward. As mentioned, it would take Congressional action for this to happen. Agree with jbuck; Native American coins will continue to be minted and NIFC. If and when the dollar FRN is 86'ed I really hope there's an overhaul of the dollar coin. |

The Presidential dollar was a good idea but poorly executed. Frankly, more than half the portraits in my opinion were quite poor, with Reagan being one of the weaker ones. I'd have to think Congress would pass a law directing the mint to continue the series in the event a still-living president dies. Wouldn't really be fair otherwise. As for the dollar coin going forward, I would personally love to see the Sac dollar and the pres dollar combined in the following way: put the normal Sacagawea portrait on the obverse and the Statue of Liberty from the pres dollars on the reverse. Now that would make an attractive coin. |

Now that would make an attractive coin. I always thought the Pres reverse looked sort of tacky and tokenish. I'd love to see a return to the original Sac design with Eagle reverse (probably THE best US coin design since 1916); Date and Mint on the Obverse where they belong ( not on the edge!). I think a constantly changing design undermines the image of stability that the base denomination unit of our coinage should represent. |

No statements other than the Reagan coin is horrid. Worst out of all of them IMO.

That portion of the law was written in 2005 when the President dollar was authorized and no modification was made to it when the NA authorization was passed in 2007 changing the Sac dollar design. This then bring up the question "What IS the Sac dollar design?" Does the NA dollar continue? Or does it follow the letter of the law and revert back to the 2000 - 2008 design? Edited by Conder101

Clear as mud. I expect nothing less from Congress.  |
