No release date yet, but looks like it's happening. Mint says they'll be released into circulation and available to purchase in rolls and bags. Looking like a Philadelphia only minting. Another Semiquincentennial instant sellout, I suppose...

If the mint had any imagiation.

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
Retiring at 55, what day is today?

Same exact planchets used for sac dollars (my favorite).
Well, at least this thread isn't going to have run the entire weekend before it gets pulled like the others.
Our first president was against putting his likeness on a coin because it was too evocative of a monarchy. How times have changed.

I don't like where they put the 250 on the heraldic shield.
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
Very interesting: "will be released into circulation".
I guess banks will be deluged with requests. We'll see if they arrange to set up a proper distribution channel.
I wonder if there will be any edge-lettering errors. These have a smooth edge but there are lettered edge dollar coins being produced simultaneously.
There is no indication that there will be any proof coins. The matte finish of the pictured example is nice but will presumably not exist on production coins.
Also no word on mintage.
Poor dollar coin has had quite a bad run post-1935. Why not continue with another ugly iteration.
So……..
Maybe next step is to eliminate the paper one dollar bill. Empty the storage vaults and flood commerce with all those other goldibucks. Send them to people for income tax returns.
"I guess banks will be deluged with requests."
Requests from the Fed: "Please take these"
Requests from the public: "Please give me something else"
The Austrian who started WW2 never put his picture on a coin either…..lots of stamps though
The general public doesn't usually ask for any dollar coins. The people asking for these at banks will specifically be looking for them.
I doubt there will be any left over to fill Fed or bank vaults.
The majority of responses in similar threads suggests otherwise.
I would have made the numbers incused rather than raised, but nobody asked my opinion.
The haters are more vocal and more determined to share their opinion. Those who like the coin will quietly buy them by the millions, assuming the mintage can accommodate the demand.
Has there ever been any other threads here, on official US Mint releases, shut down because of how divisive this particular Mint issue is? Or would this be the first of its kind here on these forums of an official release not being allowed to be discussed?
Would/will PCGS even grade this coin?

i find the people divisive, not the subject
When the Twenty Cent Piece came out in 1875, there were so many angry telegrams to the Mint that Western Union shut down for a day and a half!
Why wouldn’t they?
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Here we go again. I hope this doesn’t turn ugly.
I think this design is interesting, but I don't know how popular these will be. It will either be really popular or a flop. No in-between.

Seriously? Was that supposed to be subtle. I suggest editing it, for your own good, and then I'll remove the quote.

Are you new? They shut down divisive threads almost weekly.

It's /that/ coin. It's already ugly.
Another waste of taxpayer money. None of these modern one dollar coins between SBA’s, Sacagawea’s, and Presidential circulate.
If the BEP stops printing the dollar bill, the dollar coins will circulate.

The living US President Calvin Coolidge did put his portrait on a US legal tender coin in 1926 so there is a precedent.

Agree that incuse would be better. Actually, the 250 on the shield isn't really necessary since this coin has a dual date of "1776-2026".

Not only Coolidge for precedent.
FDR was also on a U.S. coin while a sitting President (The Philippines were a territory, then commonwealth of the US). The 1936 US-Philippines Peso commemorative featuring Roosevelt and Quezon.
