What coin has the first 39 presidents pictures on the back of the coin?

There is no American coin that features the first 39 presidents. The "Presidential $1 Coin Program" is a coin program where the US Mint mints $1 coins featuring the portrait of a single president. The program will have a coin for each US president. It was signed into law in 2005 and the program began minting coins in 2007 and will end in 2016 with Ronald Reagan being the last president depicted. US law prohibits a living president (current or otherwise) from appearing on coinage or paper currency.
