Presidential $1 Coin Program
Presidential dollar coins began on January 1, 2007, and like the 50 State quarters program, was not scheduled to end until every eligible subject was honored. The program was to issue coins featuring each of four presidents per year on the obverse, issuing one for three months before moving on to the next president in chronological order by term in office. To be eligible, a President must have been deceased for at least two years prior to the time of minting. The United States Mint called it the Presidential $1 Coin Program.
Background
Lyndon Baines “LBJ” Johnson was born August 27, 1908, in central Texas. He graduated from Southwest Texas State Teachers College (now Texas State University-San Marcos).
Johnson successfully campaigned for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1937 where he served six terms before moving on to serve 12 years in the U.S. Senate.
Johnson became the nation’s 37th vice president in 1961. He had held that office for less than three years, when John F. Kennedy’s assassination thrust him into the presidency. During a joint session of Congress to present his plans for leading the nation after Kennedy’s death, he said, “All that I have I would have given gladly not to be standing here today.”
During his administration, President Johnson promoted his vision of “The Great Society” and tackled issues such as poverty, inequality in education, voting rights and conservation. However, it was the conflict between North and South Vietnam that took center stage both at home and abroad.
Additional highlights of Johnson’s presidency include:
Passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Open Housing Act of 1968
Passage of legislation creating the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities
Passage of the Highway Safety Act
Passage of the Public Broadcasting Act
Passage of Social Security Act 1965, which created the Medicare and Medicaid programs
Apollo 8, the first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon
