The William Henry Harrison Dollar was the first release of the Presidential Dollar series for the year 2009. It marked the ninth release in the series overall. Notably, this was the first Presidential Dollar which carried the "In God We Trust" motto on the obverse of the coin rather than the edge lettering. The official release date was February 19, 2009. An official launch ceremony for the dollar coin was held on Berkeley Plantation in Charles City, Virginia. The event included a ceremonial coin pour, tours of the 18th century manor, a coin exchange, and a free William Henry Harrison Presidential Dollar for children in attendance. The ceremony was attended by US Mint Deputy Director Andrew Brunhart. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of the former President. It was designed and sculpted by Joseph Menna. The inscriptions include "William Henry Harrison," "In God We Trust," "9th President," and the year of his Presidential term "1841." The reverse of the coin will continue to bear the same Statue of Liberty design used on all prior coins of the series. The reverse was designed and sculpted by Don Everhart.
