The U.S. Mint released the final set of coins dedicated to United States Presidents on 29th March 2016. Unlike the usual four $1 coins that were released until now, this time around it’s a set of three coins. The obverse of the coins features portraits of former commanders-in-chief Reagan, Ford and Nixon. Inscriptions include:

RICHARD M. NIXON, IN GOD WE TRUST, 37th PRESIDENT and 1969-1974. Designed and sculpted by Don Everhart.

GERALD R. FORD, IN GOD WE TRUST, 38th PRESIDENT and 1974-1977. Designed and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill.

RONALD REAGAN, IN GOD WE TRUST, 40th PRESIDENT and 1981-1989. Designed by Richard Masters and sculpted by Joseph Menna.

The reverse of the coins depict the Statue of Liberty with the inscriptions of ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ and ‘$1’.

The coins have a soft, matte-like finish and are made like circulating coins, but with a special process.
