Presidential Dollar Coin Series Suggestions |
Suggestions have been made to rename the Pentagon for President Reagan, and another to place his picture on the Ten Dollar Bill. I support neither. I could support naming a great warship for President Reagan. (OH! That's been done!) Or, if he must become a part of our monetary system, an appropriate gesture, I guess, since he did improve our economy for a lengthy period of time, let's look at a Ronald Reagan Dollar Coin. Coins are more impressive than bills, and this could also popularize dollar coins, which the treasury has been trying to do, with abysmal results. A Reagan Dollar could be the key to having more people willing to go with a dollar coin. There could even be a Presidential series of dollar coins, with, perhaps, a new dollar coin with a different (non-living) president coming out every three months. The series could start with President Reagan, and then go on with the other presidents in some fashion, perhaps even at random, until all the presidents are covered. The back of each coin could show a significant event from that president's tenure in office. A few examples follow; I couldn't help myself!

This could be both fun and informative. |
