Government Wants Presidential Coin Lawsuit Dropped
The U.S. Treasury Secretary wants a federal judge to dismiss a Florida man's lawsuit seeking to place 10 men on Presidential $1 coins who, he says, were presidents before George Washington.
The United States Mint was placed under the auspices of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States in 1981.
Stanley L. Klos of Palm Beach, Florida wants Treasury Secretary Paulson to use his authority to have coins minted for the men who were Presidents of the United States in Congress Assembled under the Constitution of 1777, also known as the Articles of Confederation as adopted in March of 1781.

Royal Mint Offers 2008 UK Queen Elizabeth I £5 Piedfort ...
The British Royal Mint has announced the sale of the extremely limited 2008 UK Queen Elizabeth I £5 Piedfort Platinum Proof Coin, and only days after releasing the four-coin silver proof Piedforts.
The platinum coin, like its sister silver version, has the piedfort-style double weight and thickness. It's on sale for a whopping £5250 (~$10,264 USD). Too high? Set aside the coin's beauty and consider only its limited 150 issuance and 3 ounce platinum content. You might just reconsider.
