About This Coin
The 2008 Presidential Dollar is a United States dollar from the Presidential Dollars 2007 to Date series — the second year of the series. In 2008, the Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco Mints struck about 482.8 million Presidential dollars, each issue counted once whichever way its edge lettering runs. The obverse features rotating portraits of each U.S. president in order of service, released four per year and the reverse displays the Statue of Liberty. The second year honored Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Jackson, and Van Buren. Mounting complaints about edge lettering legibility led Congress to move "In God We Trust" to the obverse starting in 2009. Weighing 8.1 grams, 26.5 mm in diameter. Designed by Various designers for each president / Don Everhart (reverse).
