119 STAT. 2664 PUBLIC LAW 109–145—DEC. 22, 2005

Public Law 109–145

109th Congress

An Act

To require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins in commemoration of each

of the Nation’s past Presidents and their spouses, respectively, to improve circulation

of the $1 coin, to create a new bullion coin, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of

the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Presidential $1 Coin Act of

2005’’.

TITLE I—PRESIDENTIAL $1 COINS

SEC. 101. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:

(1) There are sectors of the United States economy,

including public transportation, parking meters, vending

machines, and low-dollar value transactions, in which the use

of a $1 coin is both useful and desirable for keeping costs

and prices down.

(2) For a variety of reasons, the new $1 coin introduced

in 2000 has not been widely sought-after by the public, leading

to higher costs for merchants and thus higher prices for consumers.

(3) The success of the 50 States Commemorative Coin

Program (31 U.S.C. 5112(l)) for circulating quarter dollars

shows that a design on a United States circulating coin that

is regularly changed in a manner similar to the systematic

change in designs in such Program radically increases demand

for the coin, rapidly pulling it through the economy.

(4) The 50 States Commemorative Coin Program also has

been an educational tool, teaching both Americans and visitors

something about each State for which a quarter has been

issued.

(5) A national survey and study by the Government

Accountability Office has indicated that many Americans who

do not seek, or who reject, the new $1 coin for use in commerce

would actively seek the coin if an attractive, educational

rotating design were to be struck on the coin.

(6) The President is the leader of our tripartite government

and the President’s spouse has often set the social tone for

the White House while spearheading and highlighting important

issues for the country.

119 STAT. 2665 PUBLIC LAW 109–145—DEC. 22, 2005

(7) Sacagawea, as currently represented on the new $1

coin, is an important symbol of American history.

(8) Many people cannot name all of the Presidents, and

fewer can name the spouses, nor can many people accurately

place each President in the proper time period of American

history.

(9) First Spouses have not generally been recognized on

American coinage.

(10) In order to revitalize the design of United States

coinage and return circulating coinage to its position as not

only a necessary means of exchange in commerce, but also

as an object of aesthetic beauty in its own right, it is appropriate

to move many of the mottos and emblems, the inscription

of the year, and the so-called ‘‘mint marks’’ that currently

appear on the 2 faces of each circulating coin to the edge

of the coin, which would allow larger and more dramatic artwork

on the coins reminiscent of the so-called ‘‘Golden Age

of Coinage’’ in the United States, at the beginning of the Twentieth

Century, initiated by President Theodore Roosevelt, with

the assistance of noted sculptors and medallic artists James

Earle Fraser and Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

(11) Placing inscriptions on the edge of coins, known as

edge-incusing, is a hallmark of modern coinage and is common

in large-volume production of coinage elsewhere in the world,

such as the 2,700,000,000 2-Euro coins in circulation, but it

has not been done on a large scale in United States coinage

in recent years.

(12) Although the Congress has authorized the Secretary

of the Treasury to issue gold coins with a purity of 99.99

percent, the Secretary has not done so.

(13) Bullion coins are a valuable tool for the investor and,

in some cases, an important aspect of coin collecting.

SEC. 102. PRESIDENTIAL $1 COIN PROGRAM.

Section 5112 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by

adding at the end the following:

‘‘(n) REDESIGN AND ISSUANCE OF CIRCULATING $1 COINS HONORING

EACH OF THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES.—

‘‘(1) REDESIGN BEGINNING IN 2007.—

‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding subsection (d) and

in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, $1

coins issued during the period beginning January 1, 2007,

and ending upon the termination of the program under

paragraph (8), shall—

‘‘(i) have designs on the obverse selected in accordance

with paragraph (2)(B) which are emblematic of

the Presidents of the United States; and

‘‘(ii) have a design on the reverse selected in

accordance with paragraph (2)(A).

‘‘(B) CONTINUITY PROVISIONS.—

‘‘(i) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding subparagraph

(A), the Secretary shall continue to mint and issue

$1 coins which bear any design in effect before the

issuance of coins as required under this subsection

(including the so-called ‘Sacagawea-design’ $1 coins).

119 STAT. 2666 PUBLIC LAW 109–145—DEC. 22, 2005

‘‘(ii) CIRCULATION QUANTITY.—Beginning January

1, 2007, and ending upon the termination of the program

under paragraph (8), the Secretary annually shall

mint and issue such ‘Sacagawea-design’ $1 coins for

circulation in quantities of no less than 1⁄3 of the total

$1 coins minted and issued under this subsection.’’.

‘‘(2) DESIGN REQUIREMENTS.—The $1 coins issued in accordance

with paragraph (1)(A) shall meet the following design

requirements:

‘‘(A) COIN REVERSE.—The design on the reverse shall

bear—

‘‘(i) a likeness of the Statue of Liberty extending

to the rim of the coin and large enough to provide

a dramatic representation of Liberty while not being

large enough to create the impression of a ‘2-headed’

coin;

‘‘(ii) the inscription ‘$1’; and

‘‘(iii) the inscription ‘United States of America’.

‘‘(B) COIN OBVERSE.—The design on the obverse shall

contain—

‘‘(i) the name and likeness of a President of the

United States; and

‘‘(ii) basic information about the President,

including—

‘‘(I) the dates or years of the term of office

of such President; and

‘‘(II) a number indicating the order of the

period of service in which the President served.

‘‘(C) EDGE-INCUSED INSCRIPTIONS.—

‘‘(i) IN GENERAL.—The inscription of the year of

minting or issuance of the coin and the inscriptions

‘E Pluribus Unum’ and ‘In God We Trust’ shall be

edge-incused into the coin.

‘‘(ii) PRESERVATION OF DISTINCTIVE EDGE.—The

edge-incusing of the inscriptions under clause (i) on

coins issued under this subsection shall be done in

a manner that preserves the distinctive edge of the

coin so that the denomination of the coin is readily

discernible, including by individuals who are blind or

visually impaired.

‘‘(D) INSCRIPTIONS OF ‘LIBERTY’.—Notwithstanding the

second sentence of subsection (d)(1), because the use of

a design bearing the likeness of the Statue of Liberty

on the reverse of the coins issued under this subsection

adequately conveys the concept of Liberty, the inscription

of ‘Liberty’ shall not appear on the coins.

‘‘(E) LIMITATION IN SERIES TO DECEASED PRESIDENTS.—

No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image

of a living former or current President, or of any deceased

former President during the 2-year period following the

date of the death of that President.

‘‘(3) ISSUANCE OF COINS COMMEMORATING PRESIDENTS.—

‘‘(A) ORDER OF ISSUANCE.—The coins issued under this

subsection commemorating Presidents of the United States

shall be issued in the order of the period of service of

each President, beginning with President George Washington.

DURING EACH YEAR OF THE PERIOD.—

during each year of the period referred to in paragraph

(1) shall be emblematic of 4 Presidents until each President

has been so honored, subject to paragraph (2)(E).

‘‘(B) NUMBER OF 4 CIRCULATING COIN DESIGNS IN EACH

YEAR.—The Secretary shall prescribe, on the basis of such

factors as the Secretary determines to be appropriate, the

has been so honored, subject to paragraph (2)(E), and may

not be resumed except by an Act of Congress.

‘‘(9) REVERSION TO PRECEDING DESIGN.—Upon the termination

$1 coins.’’.

Reserve System and the Secretary shall take steps to ensure

that an adequate supply of $1 coins is available for commerce

and collectors at such places and in such quantities as are

appropriate by—

‘‘(A) consulting, to accurately gauge demand for coins

and to anticipate and eliminate obstacles to the easy and

efficient distribution and circulation of $1 coins as well

as all other circulating coins, from time to time but no

less frequently than annually, with a coin users group,

which may include—

‘‘(i) representatives of merchants who would benefit

‘‘(D) ensuring that—

‘‘(i) during an introductory period, all institutions

design of $1 coins minted under subsections (n) and

determines to be appropriate, and after consultation

with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,

the Secretary shall notify the Congress of its assessment of

issues related to the co-circulation of any circulating $1 coin

bearing any design, other than the so-called ‘Sacagawea-design’

$1 coin, in effect before the issuance of coins required under

subsection (n), including the effect of co-circulation on the

acceptance and use of $1 coins, and make recommendations

to the Congress for improving the circulation of $1 coins.’’.

SEC. 105. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

It is the sense of the Congress that—

(1) the enactment of this Act will serve to increase the

use of $1 coins generally, which will increase the circulation

of the so-called ‘‘Sacagawea-design’’ $1 coins that have been

and will continue to be minted and issued;

(2) the continued minting and issuance of the so-called

‘‘Sacagawea-design’’ $1 coins will serve as a lasting tribute

to the role of women and Native Americans in the history

of the United States;

(3) the full circulation potential and cost-savings benefit

projections for the $1 coins are not likely to be achieved unless

the coins are delivered in ways useful to ordinary commerce;

(4) the coins issued in connection with this title should

not be introduced with an overly expensive taxpayer-funded

public relations campaign;

(5) in order for the circulation of $1 coins to achieve maximum

potential—

(A) the coins should be as attractive as possible; and

(B) the Director of the United States Mint should take

all reasonable steps to ensure that all $1 coins minted
