Interesting fact

The Zachary Taylor dollar coin was part of the Presidential $1 Coin Program, which was authorized by Congress in 2005 to honor each U.S. President on a dollar coin. The program ran from 2007 to 2016 and featured four different designs each year, with one coin for each president. The Zachary Taylor coin was released in 2009 and features an image of Taylor on the obverse (front) side, with the Statue of Liberty on the reverse (back) side.
