USA: New one-dollar coins with Washington's likeness introduced
Americans haven't quite warmed up to the one-dollar coin yet. But that's set to change: On Thursday, the U.S. Mint launched a nationwide advertising campaign to introduce its new one-dollar coins to the public.
The one-dollar coin has not yet really grown on Americans. That is set to change: On Thursday, the US Mint launched its new one-dollar coins with nationwide advertising campaigns. A new series, in which a former US president appears on the reverse of the coin every 12 months, was launched last Thursday. The first coin features US founding president George Washington, with the Statue of Liberty in New York on the reverse, followed by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. By 2016, citizens will have presidential dollars with the likenesses of the first 37 heads of state in their wallets, as reported by the SDA.
