Answer You have to know what dates you're interested in. Dollar coins have been issued on and off since 1794.

To give a rough overview:

90% silver dollars 1794-1935 - various images of Miss Liberty

Dollar coins issued since 1971 are not made of silver

1971-1978 - President Eisenhower (metal: cupronickel "sandwich")

1979-81, 1999 - Susan B. Anthony (again, "sandwich")

2000-present, regular issue: Sacagawea (metal: manganese-brass)

2007-present, Presidential series: Each U.S. president's image appears for 3 months. The series is expected to end around 2016, depending on how many former presidents are alive at that time.

Also, since 1982 there have been various "Commemorative" Dollar coins minted with a variety of face images but these are only sold to collectors and do not circulate.
