When does the Martin van Buren dollar coin come out?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

$1.00 is what the Martin van Buren coin is worth but may not be worth face value according to coin experts and god we trust located on the side of the coin (not the top or bottom) will be moved to the top of the coin in 2009

More As of 01/2011 the coin is still only worth $1. Except among religious conservatives, the location of the motto (In God We Trust, not "And" God We Trust) was a non-issue and has no effect on its value.

To correct terminology, the sides of a coin are technically the obverse and reverse, or more commonly simply front and back. "top" and "bottom" refer to orientations of the design on each side.

And of course, the coin isn't really gold, just gold-colored brass. The dates 1837-1841 are the years van Buren served as president. The coin's minting date is 2008 and appears on the edge along with the mint mark and mottoes.

Unless it's a Proof coin it's just a dollar. If you got it from a bank or in change, spend it.

He patiently used diplomacy to work out an agreement with the Mexican government to go into arbitration over US claims against it. He refused Texas annexation unless it could be worked out in a way that kept Mexican and the United States on friendly diplomatic terms.

In 1837, banks closed in Philadelphia and New York City, starting the Panic of 1837. The economic disaster was touched off by inflation and land speculation. In 1839, a boundary dispute between Maine and New Brunswick brought the US and Great Britain to the brink of war. In 1840, he urged Congress to establish an independent treasury to hold federal funds. This was an attempt to safeguard funds from private bank failures.
