| Presdient Ronald Reagan on U.S. Coins?
As much as I believe that Ronald Wilson Reagan personafied the Liberty, Freedom and the American Spirit, a commemorative coin is in order, but NOT a coin for regular issue.
I am sure that he would want something like Lady Liberty to grace our coins again. Something that represents what America is all about...her freedom, her spirit and her majesty!
With HR3916 being discussed in Washington about putting ALL of the Presidents on future dollar coins starting in 2006 (similiar to the State Quarter Program) ALONG with the First Ladies on pure gold PREMIUM coins, it is important for us to write our congressman with our thoughts on such a proposal. Otherwise, the mint is going to poll a 1000 people and take the American opinion about dollar coins and paper dollars as gospel.
I remember when National Airport in D.C. was renamed to Reagan National Airport, the uproar that ensued. I am sure the debate will take place if Reagan was to grace our coins. Many have been talking about having him "share" the dime mintage with Roosevelt.
Write your Congressman. Believe me, nobody else is going to write about American coinage and you can have your opinions heard before they put EVERYBODY on American coins...from Ronald Reagan to Hillary Clinton!
