Dollar Sale
There are no recorded images of Sacagawea; the U.S. dollar coin was modelled after a 22-year-old Shoshone Indian college student.
But it looks like Sacagawea will probably get phased out to make room for Millard Fillmore.

It's worth noting that the Susan B. Anthony dollar was never officially de-monetized. It is still legal tender and can, in fact, be found circulating in a few places (such as Post Office vending machines, if you can ever get the @#$%ing things to accept your bills).
For that matter, the Eisenhower dollar coin is still official currency, although you pretty much never see one of those in your change any more.
If the Treasury goes ahead with the Presidential dollar series, we could technically have four different kinds of officially recognized dollar coins. Plus the dollar bill.
