The denomination '$1' appears in the left field, and the legend 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' curves along the upper and left rim. The engraver's initials appear near the lower right. |

| Additional information |
Nixon's inclusion in the Presidential Dollar series required Congress to do nothing special — he qualified simply by being dead for more than two years before the program launched. What the series couldn't sidestep was the irony: Nixon signed the legislation eliminating U.S. dollar convertibility to gold in 1971, effectively ending Bretton Woods, and now appears on a coin with no precious metal content whatsoever.
Philadelphia and Denver both struck business strikes; West Point produced collector finishes. Edge lettering carries the date and mint mark.
