Book Description
George Washington is the most popular subject on coins, medals, tokens, paper money and postage stamps in America. Attempts to eliminate one-dollar bills from circulation, replacing them with coins, have been unsuccessful. Americans' reluctance to part with their "Georges" are beyond rational considerations but tap into deep-felt emotions. To discard one-dollar bills means discarding the metaphorical Father of His Country. Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first Secretary of the Treasury, said that monetary tokens were "vehicles of useful impressions." This numismatic history of George Washington traces the persistence of his image on American currency. These images are mostly from the late 18th-century. This book also offers a close look at the pictorial tradition in which these images are rooted.

Book Description
The U.S. Mint has started issuing handsome new silver dollars featuring images of the presidents in the order that they served--and this time they’re taking a fresh, contemporary approach! Beginning this year with George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, each coin will have large dramatic artwork (bigger than ever before) and display the Statue of Liberty on the reverse. They’ll also feature innovative edge lettering and a process to make the coins stay shinier longer. This 4-part folder is a handsome, practical way to collect those coins as they’re issued and keep them in perfect condition over the years. Done in the same specs as the very successful 50 State Quarters Collector’s Folder (more than 100,000 copies sold), The Presidential Dollar Collector’s Folder offers informative background material on the mint and the presidential coin program, as well as selected highlights of each president’s term in office.
