In 2005, President Bush signed the Presidential $1 Coin Act authorizing the United States Mint to strike $1 coins honoring America’s Presidents in the order in which they served. This coin, the seventh in the Presidential $1 Coin Program, honors President Andrew Jackson.

As President, Jackson worked to strengthen the executive branch and vetoed more bills than the six prior presidents combined. His renomination to a second term marked the first use of a national nominating convention to select a party’s candidate instead of a congressional caucus.

A strong proponent of federal supremacy over states’ rights, he took a forceful stance against the state of South Carolina’s attempt to nullify a federal tariff, declaring “Our federal Union: it must be preserved.”

The Andrew Jackson Presidential $1 Coin features a likeness of Jackson on the obverse and a reverse design with a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. This coin features larger, more dramatic artwork, as well as edge-incused inscriptions of the year, “E Pluribus Unum,” “In God We Trust,” and the mint mark.

These Andrew Jackson Presidential $1 Coins are circulating condition coins and can be used in daily transactions. However, because these coins have never been circulated, they also make a great addition to your private collection or a wonderful gift for someone special. Add these historic coins to your collection today by ordering the 2008 Andrew Jackson Presidential $1 Coin 250-Coin Bag struck at the United States Mint at Philadelphia.

The United States Mint will continue to sell all previous Presidential $1 Coin Bags and Rolls until inventory is depleted.
