Notes: Presidential Dollar program began January 1, 2007 with George Washington and will end in 2016 after honoring President Ronald Reagan. Four designs are released each year. Grover Cleveland will appear twice, since he served two non-consecutive terms. These appearances are both scheduled for 2012, so only 3 different designs will be made in that year.
Known errors include George Washington and John Adams dollars with no edge lettering (Washington dollars are the more common with this error), and John Adams dollars with doubled edge lettering. Some coins also have the words on the rim struck “upside down” (president face up). Though these are variations created by the minting process, not errors, and make up ~50% of the minted population, such coins have been sold for greater than face value (buyer beware).
