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

Ronald Wilson Reagan was born on February 6, 1911, in Tampico, Illinois. He worked his way through Eureka College and then landed a job as a radio announcer.

Reagan developed an interest in acting while in college and in 1937 he landed a contract with a major studio. He appeared in more than 50 films, including training films during World War II while serving in the Army Air Corps.

Reagan also had a keen interest in politics and in 1966, he successfully ran for governor of California, serving two terms. He unsuccessfully challenged President Ford for the Republican nomination in 1976 and defeated Jimmy Carter four years later, becoming the nation’s 40th president on January 20, 1981.

Highlights of Reagan’s administration include:
Promotion of an economic program aimed at boosting the economy through a combination of tax cuts, deregulation and restraint in domestic spending
Negotiation of a treaty with the Soviet Union that eliminated intermediate-range nuclear arms
Appointing the first woman to the U.S. Supreme Court
