National Stroke Association to Join U.S. Mint in Celebrating John Quincy Adams $1 Coins
The National Stroke Association has announced it will join the U.S. Mint in celebrating the launch of the new John Quincy Adams Presidential $1 coin on Thursday, May 15.
One of the great values in coin series with ongoing themes and multi-year designs, like the Presidential $1 coins, is the educational value they can provide.
The release of the John Quincy Adams coin this month honors his life, and just as importantly, is a learning opportunity. Like now. What many people may not know is that John Quincy Adams suffered a stroke on the floor of the House of Representatives in 1848. He died from that stroke two days later.
How many people knew or remembered that from their day’s in high school? Likely, few. But now more can.
