The United States Mint released a new coin cover that includes two circulating-quality dollars featuring Richard M. Nixon on 1st March. This marks the 37th release in the American Presidency $1 Coin Cover Series and the first of three for 2016.

A protective display card contains both coins, with the front side of the card featuring a portrait of the president and a postmark stating, "YORBA LINDA STATION, YORBA LINDA, CA," and "MAR 1 2016," which represents the city where Richard Nixon was born and the day of the coin cover’s release. Each display card comes inside an envelope bearing a Red, White, and Blue Forever® postage stamp.

Obverses of the $1 coin features a portrait of Nixon, surrounded by inscriptions that read: RICHARD M. NIXON, IN GOD WE TRUST, 37th PRESIDENT and 1969-1974 for the years he served as commander-in-chief.

The reverse designs bear Everhart’s rendition of the Statue of Liberty. Inscriptions around Lady Liberty include: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1.

Dollar coins also share edge lettering stating their year of issue, the ‘P’ or ‘D’ mint mark for the mint of origin, and E PLURIBUS UNUM.
