Hello, I'm an expert in numismatics, which is the study or collection of currency, including coins. When it comes to the production of dollar coins, there are a few things to consider.

Firstly, the United States Mint does still produce dollar coins, but the production is not as widespread or as frequently as smaller denomination coins like pennies, nickels, dimes, or quarters. The demand for dollar coins in daily transactions is generally lower compared to these smaller coins, which is why you might not encounter them as often.

Secondly, the production of dollar coins often depends on replacement needs and collectible series. For instance, the Mint may produce new dollar coins to replace worn-out ones in circulation or to commemorate special events or individuals through limited edition series.

Lastly, the Sacagawea dollar and the Presidential dollars are two series that were produced in the past. The Sacagawea dollar, featuring the Native American guide, was produced from 2000 to 2008, and then annually with different designs on the reverse from 2000 to 2008, and then annually with different designs on the reverse from 2009 to 2016. The Presidential dollars, which featured images of U.S. presidents, were minted from 2007 to 2016.

In summary, while dollar coins are not as commonly found in circulation as other coins, they are indeed still being made, albeit in limited quantities and often for specific purposes.
