Is there a new US dollar coin?

Question

Not the golden indian one but is there a new one my friend says theres one with george washington on it with statue of liberty on the back and its golden too

Answer 1

Your friend is right. The US Mint is issuing a new series of 1 dollar coins starting this year, called the Presidential $1 Coin Program, and there'll be 4 different dollar coins per year, starting with President Washington, followed by Adams, Jefferson and Madison for year 2007(all presidents featured in the order that they served). The size, weight and metal composition of the new Presidential $1 Coin will be identical to that of the Sacagawea golden dollar.
