Release date of Thomas Jefferson Dollar: August 16, 2007.

Sometimes referred to as the "silent member" of the Continental Congress, Thomas Jefferson spoke volumes with his pen. He drafted the Declaration of Independence at the age of 33, and later succeeded Benjamin Franklin as America’s foreign minister to France.

During his first term as President, Jefferson virtually doubled the size of the U.S. when his Administration completed the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and sent Lewis and Clark to explore the new territory.
