All the $1 coins are within a durable folder that includes short biographies and portraits of each president.

Coin Designs

The obverse or heads side of each dollar bears the portraits and above inscriptions while reverses share Don Everhart’s rendition of the Statue of Liberty with inscriptions of ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ and the ‘$1’ denomination.

Another trait that is common to all dollar coins is letterings that are incused along their edges. They include ‘E PLURIBUS UNUM,’ the year ‘2015’ and the ‘P’ or ‘D’ mint mark to denote their mint of origin. The edges of the coins are visible through the set’s protective blisters.

Finally, each dollar weighs 8.100 grams, has a diameter of 26.49 mm (1.043 inches), and has composition of 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel with the remaining balance in copper.
