There is a flaw in her chin, looks like a tiny bit of Au flaked off the surface; either that or acne. Anybody see similar issue on theirs?

They’ve wanted a Reagan coin since 2011 and I haven’t heard of any pending legislation lobbied by the dollar coin folks to terminate $1 bill production and make a permanent Reagan dollar after this issue.

Thanks Richard, so there is rhyme and reason after all. Nice to keep Presidents and Spouses in order, but nicer still to have Jimmy still with us helping people.

It’s funny, but the laws prohibit this for notes (because a Treasury official once put himself on one) and stamps. (Although in several cases living people have appeared, such as the paratroopers around Eisenhower in a picture used for a D-Day commemorative issue.) However coins seem to have been forgotten, I guess because Liberty or dead presidents was the usual fare.

As for Rosalyn, I guess the relevant paragraph is this:

The bullion coins issued under this subsection with respect to any spouse of a President shall be issued on the same schedule as the $1 coin issued under subsection (n) with respect to each such President.

So, no scheduled release for Jimmy, no coin for her either.

Rosalyn Carter is alive also and the “Spouse” of Jimmy Carter. Since, the series is dedicated to “First Spouse” as the wife of the 39th President why would she be excluded?

Numbers 6 and 7 are cute, positive, and present a program that actually can work.
