<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jwevansv, post: 151460, member: 5162&quot;]Unlike the State Quarter program and the Westward Journey nickel series, which suspended the issuance of the current design during those programs, the act directs the Mint to continue to issue Sacagawea dollar coins during the Presidential series. At least 1/3 of the dollar coins issued in each year of the program must be Sacagawea dollars; furthermore, the Sacagawea design is required to continue after the program ends. These requirements were added at the behest of the North Dakota congressional delegation to ensure that Sacagawea, whom North Dakotans consider to be one of their own, ultimately remains on the dollar coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_$1_Coin_Act_of_2005" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_$1_Coin_Act_of_2005" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_$1_Coin_Act_of_2005</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I just read that the Presidential Dollars will only run for about 11 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>2016 and beyond (order uncertain)&nbsp; </p><p>Gerald Ford*, Jimmy Carter*, George H.

No former President will be depicted on a coin within two years of his death. The timing of the honoring of currently-living Presidents could vary, depending on which of them are still alive when the time comes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once the program has terminated, continuation of the series for non-honored Presidents (that have died and were not included in this series) will require another act of Congress (31 USC 5112(n)(8)).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
