The Presidential Dollar series will enter its fourth year in 2010. The year will also include one of the most well known Presidents, hopefully giving the series a boost.

The US Mint recently released the line art images for the 2010 Presidential Dollars honoring Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, and Abraham Lincoln. These images will be used for the obverse of each coin and the reverse will continue to feature the Statue of Liberty as designed by Don Everhart.

The Presidential Dollars will be struck for circulation at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. The dollar coins will co-circulate with the Native American Dollar series. Proof versions of each dollar coin will also be produced for inclusion in a variety of US Mint products offered to collectors.

Images for each of next year's Presidential Dollars appear below.

Did you know that next year the US Mint will issue six quarters honoring the District of Columbia and the five United States territories?

It's true! For 2009 the following will all be honored on their very own quarter:

• 2009 District of Columbia
• 2009 Puerto Rico
• 2009 Guam
• 2009 American Samoa
• 2009 US Virgin Islands
• 2009 US Northern Mariana Islands

These coins will follow the completion of the very popular 50 State Quarters program.

The same image used on the 50 State Quarter program will be used for the obverse of the coins. The reverse of the coins will feature images emblematic of the places represented. The design process has already begun in the various locations. The Secretary of the Treasury will select the final designs.

Coins will be issued in equal sequential internals throughout the year.
