Are you all as disgusted as I am?
I propose the Congressional Coin Series.
Each congressman will be deported as soon as their coin is struck.
Collect them all

What would the main design element be for each? A turkey superposed on the congressman's electoral district?
Maybe add Mark Twain's quip on the edge (politicians---America's only homegrown criminal element).

I am much more disgusted with the senate.

I have two good Senators and a total fool for a Congressman. I suppose it should average out, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I just sent two in for grading. They were part of a six coin set. Huge in MS70! As are the clad half dollars. I sent all six coins in! It is a Hail Mary submission but with numbers like that you just have to try.
Think about it.

Yup, gotta look at the bright side of the impending doom on the horizon.

Well, thanks to a recent vote we'll only need to mint the coins for 18 senators and 144 representatives. (Which is not to say they are the only ones who should leave; just that they have definitively shown themselves unworthy of holding public office.)

Mine, too. I own more than one, but my favorite isn't the -69, but a hazed NGC PF68 UCAM:
Cost me $21.23 including commission form Heritage nine years ago. Now I wouldn't sell it for a hundred.
