Here's a new use for those clad Kennedy half dollars

I received this advertisment from the "Mystic Stamp Company" today:

Elvis Presley U.S. Army Service Colorized Coin

But why quit here?

What about the billions of Presidential Dollars
sitting in government vaults?

How about a Life of Elvis tribute series of coins,
from his humble birth in Tupelo to his martyrdom at Graceland?

Lets see fifty cents for the coin and another half buck for shipping and the company still makes $1.95 profit per coin.
Not bad.

Nice series! I'll wait for the "John Wayne begging for a deferment." coin to come out, plated in yellow gold.

Hmmmmmmmmm. I was immediately reminded of this (censored but you get the point):

Sort of like those "Silver Surfer" comic quarters that the mint got after because they said it was illegal to place them back in circulation on purpose with the stickers for advertising.
