    A great comment by some of the people who posted on this:

    Make higher denominations on the coins. Instead of $1, make them either $5 or $10
    may the fonz be with you...always...

    Why bother ending it now? The series is just about finished.

    Whew.

    I had a long diatribe written. But like a good neighbor, I elected to not publish it.

    Haven't they got something more important to take care of? Like the country.

    Let it go away... quietly.... I do, however, agree with the higher denomination coins...3 and 5 dollar coins... in combination with the Sacs, they would do well. Cheers, RickO

    If you end it now each president will not have got their turn. How will Clinton feel?

    the text of the bill is as follows

    modify 31 USC 5112 (n) as follows:

    Isn't there still a problem with living people on coins? If so, they would have to stop with Carter, right?

    Yes. Actually they would have to stop with Ford because Carter is still alive. Unless they pass new legislation changing the guidelines.

    I think she would be very disappointed to not get her First Spouse coin after Bill leaves us down the road and gets his posthumous dollar coin, and her own President coin later with Bill as First Spouse.

    Just a thought, but maybe instead of ending the series early (would that drive up the value of those remaining in storage?), maybe if they actually started issuing them for circulation again, they might find a bit of a wider following?!image

    Or, they could stop printing dollar bills!!!!!!

    Until that's done, higher denomination coins won't stand a chance.

    Probably won't feel anything since, as was mentioned, he would be daid

    the good news is that all the idiots that prefer the gold colored dollar coins to paper, will always have plenty of them to spend. as there are millions of them sitting in warehouses all over the country.
    regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything

    Can't wait to get those in a dual holder! I'll try for a SP69.

    Won't happen. The Gov makes too much money from those to just give it up. They sell a roll of 25 $1 coins for $33...that's the kind of racket I want to run.
