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, coins were struck at the Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver Mints with a combined mintage of 1.3 billion. This represents the second-highest annual mintage in the series, above the series median of 117.7 million. 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.
