While I've been good about collecting the statehood quarters it has been more difficult to collect the presidential dollars. Why? Simple they're dollars. I only get them in change when I buy Metrocards with large bills.
Another reason is because the get so ugly so quick. Even though they adjust the washing and minting process a little they still do not hold up well.
In the past week I got my hands on a few and kept only those I don't already have.
All the reverses are the same so I only needed to show it once. The John Quincy Adams and the Thomas Jefferson dollars have the edge lettering facing up or normal when the president's bust is on top.
The James Monroe dollar has the edge lettering upside down when the president's face is up.
This is not an error. The edge lettering was never meant to face any particular direction. The explanation giving by the mint is that when the coin gets the edge lettering it is thrown in randomly either face up or down. It is not even considered a variety by most collectors since it was done on purpose. Plus the normal or upside down version run about 50%-50%.
Here is the schedule for public release courtesy of the U.S. Mint website.

Nice summary of the Pres Dollars. I still haven't received one in change, although I have been diligently spending them from rolls obtained from the bank.
Thanks I'm not bank roll person but I applaud your efforts to put them out there. You must have some great stories of troubles trying to spend these coins.
I have a Canadian 1 cent coin from 1943. It says GEORGIVS VI D:G:REX ET IND:IMP: It has a man's picture on it. Could you tell me how much it's worth?
