Comment

The Presidential Dollar proved to be unpopular amongst the American public and are today rarely seen in everyday commerce. However, they are frequently used in Ecuador and El Salvador, two nations that have adopted the United States dollar.

Interesting fact

The interesting fact about the James Garfield $1 coin is that it was the first coin in the United States Mint's Presidential $1 Coin Program to feature a non-presidential portrait. The coin's obverse (heads side) features a portrait of James Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, while the reverse (tails side) features a vignette of the Statue of Liberty. This design was chosen to commemorate Garfield's support for the establishment of the Statue of Liberty, which was dedicated during his presidency.
