As the article states, there will eventually be 37 versions of the coin, each having a different president on it starting with Washington up to Nixon. Four per year until the last.

New Dollar Coin Hides “In God We Trust” And Will Feature Nixon And Others

Despite past failures, the U.S. Mint announced at a ceremony at The Smithsonian Institution on Monday that they would try again. They will begin circulating a new dollar coin on February 15, 2007. It will still be the same size as the 1979 Susan B. Anthony and the 2000-2002 Sacajawea. The coin will also be made of the same gold colored material as the Sacajawea with an additional compound added to the metal to keep it from tarnishing as fast as its predecessor did.

The timing would seem to indicate that the announcement was held up until after the November 2006 elections. The religious right wing of the Republican Party is sure to be outraged when they notice that “In God We Trust,” while still on the coin, is no longer featured prominently.

Here’s the Mint’s site on the coins.
