Great idea! If it does not appeal to you don’t buy them!

Bill, I like the O.J. idea, but I would go with O.J. selling holiday turkeys on a coin. Maybe a special Christmas Commemorative.

Cincinnatus,
I agree that the Parks are a great use of Public Monies but….

Let’s not knock the only Government Branch that makes money, the US Mint. The only other one that comes close is the Judicial Department and this is mostly from Fines, Tickets and Court Fees. And we all love these, right.

The additional Fees for this coin are going to fund a Museum, a Nonprofit Museum. It is to mark the 75th ann. and has crossover appeal to the sports market. I get it… but as the man says, if you don’t like, don’t buy it.

How come nobody likes sports. It would be the same as buying baseball cards. What do they do with that money?

and now that you’ve gone this far, can a NASCAR coin be that far away?
and then there is FOOTBALL! Woooooo! The O.J. Simpson coin collection will be a hoot! #32 with a Buffalo on the first, A Hertz rent-a-car coin with OJ leaping over a gate, a NBC commentator on another and a White SUV on the final one.

RonnieBGood,

True but the surplus doesn’t go to the Parks – it is just added to the treasury.

My point is that we are producing a coin to fund the Hall of Fame for a corporation that makes BILLIONS of dollars. What is next a Microsoft or Google commemerative coin?

The Hall of Fame is a for profit business – a National park is not.

Cincinnatus,
Check out the ATB America The Beautiful US quarter series:
http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/atb/?action=factSheet
Each year, the public will see five new national site designs depicted on the reverse (tails side) of America the Beautiful Quarters. The United States Mint will issue these quarters in the order in which the honored site was first established as a national site.

Why is Congress honoring a multi-billion dollar coporation? Dosen’t this industryhave enough money to spport their hall of fame? I would rather see a national park honored and the surplus go to improve the facilities instead of giving money to guys that play with a ball for a living.

Why do we give so much credit to these people that are paid HUGE sums of money for entetainment and our Park rangers are on food stamps?
