The First Spouse Gold Coin Program started in 2007 where every year four new dollars have been released by the US Mint. The First Spouse Coins may not always be released at the same time as their respective presidential dollars, each first spouse coin is released in the same year. If a president had more than one spouse while in office, like President John Tyler, each spouse's coin will be released, resulting in five or more commemoratives that year. Any President that did not have a spouse while in office will have a depiction of Liberty placed on a $10 gold coin.
