U.S. Mint rolls out new presidential dollar coin – USATODAY.com Note: Congress required that presidents be dead at least two years before they can be depicted on a dollar coin and that presidents be featured in the order they served. Ronald Reagan who died in 2004 cannot be pictured on a coin unless Jimmy Carter has been dead two years in 2016 when the program expires. Source: U.S. Mint
Of course you know that the George W. Bush coin, when it comes out, will only have a street value of .35 cents.
