I went to the store yesterday and never looked at my change till I got home but I am sure glad I did before I threw it all in the change jar. I am not really sure other then its a dollar coin and is gold colored.

Here's a link for you. They discontinued them last year. Not sure how far they got.

They U.S. Mint is continuing to produce this series, but they will not be put into general circulation. Only sold to coin dealers and collectors. The 2012 series begins with Chester Arthur, but I don't know the release date. These coins were meant to replace the paper one dollar bill, but the experiment was a failure as most people refused to use them as intended and/or hoarded or kept them as "collectibles".
