The Presidential dollar coins are not going to be circulated after James Garfield. They will only be available above face value to collectors from coin companies like Franklin Mint. The common circulated coins we had been able to collect from banks have been discontinued.

Last I'd heard, they were going to stop issuing the Presidential dollar coins. Glad to know they're still available.
