  1. From the bill.....

    ‘(E) LIMITATION IN SERIES TO DECEASED PRESIDENTS.—

    No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image

    of a living former or current President, or of any deceased

    former President during the 2-year period following the

    date of the death of that President

     

    ‘(8) TERMINATION OF PROGRAM.—The issuance of coins

    under this subsection shall terminate when each President

    has been so honored, subject to paragraph (2)(E), and may

    not be resumed except by an Act of Congress.

     

    So perhaps they will skip Carter and end with Reagan.

  2. The mint blew it when the "golden dollar" was introduced. They went thru a short period where they were only available a Walmart checkout. Walmart made a big deal of the "Golden Dollars" and even limited them to one coin per person. It totally defeated the purpose. People looked at them as collectors items and didn't respend them. Some people actually thought they were made of gold!

     

    Maybe if they partnered with someone like Walmart again but they remove the paper dollar bills and only give out the coins, unlimited.

  3. My oldest son lives in NYC and comes home several times a year with a handful of his circulation finds. The Christmas bacth included 7 Wheaties, 2 1964 Quarters a '42P war nickel and a Bahamas 25 cent. Healso gave me a Hobo nickel (Bison carved into santa) that he bought off a street vendor.
