    Liberace. Silver clad Kennedies

    Ed Sullivan. Morgans (you could get 'em all in a really big shoe)

    Johnny Carson. And the answer is; novelty coins

    Neil Armstrong. Anything going for moon money.

    Satchmo. Very jazzy standing liberties (FH, of course)

    Thurgood Marshall. Anything that's honest money.

    Clarence Thomas. Walking liberties (he's getting up there ya' know image)

    Walter Cronkite. Something cheap since he'd broadcast it everywhere. Circulated clad.

    Jimmy Carter. Darkside (especially Africa)

    Barbara Streisand. Frankies (that's the way we were) (BarbaraBop?)

    Nancy Reagan. Married to the classics (Large Cents?)

    Mickey Mantle. Indian cents with full diamonds

    Stephen Hawking. PL zincolns. (it would have to be something that's really out there) (in cosmic numbers)

    Bill Gates. Clad
