Message:: [QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1091652, member: 18157"]The way I read <a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/search/display.html?terms=quarter%20dollar&url=/uscode/html/uscode31/usc_sec_31_00005112----000-.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/search/display.html?terms=quarter%20dollar&url=/uscode/html/uscode31/usc_sec_31_00005112----000-.html" rel="nofollow">Title 31;Subtitle 4;Chaper 51;Subchapter 2;Section 5112-o "First Spouse Bullion Coin Program"</a>, the First Spouse program (5112-o) is linked to the Presidential Coin Program (5112-n).  5112-o5A...The issuance of coins commemorating First Spouses..."shall be issued on the same schedule as the $1 coin issued under subsection (n) with respect to each such President." 5112-n2E...limits Presidential coins to deceased Presidents..."No coin issued under this subsection may bear the image of a living former or current President, or of any deceased former President during the 2-year period following the date of the death of that President. The First Spouse coin program termintates when the Presidential Coin program terminates... 5112-n8..."The issuance of coins under this subsection shall terminate when each President has been so honored, subject to paragraph (2)(E), and may not be resumed except by an Act of Congress." This means that when it comes time to honor a President with a Presidential dollar coin, that President must have been dead at least two (2) years. However, there's nothing that says the First Spouse must also be deceased.  For instance, if (God forbid!) Jimmy Carter should die tomorrow and Roseline Carter is still alive when it's time for the Jimmy Carter Presidential dollar, Roseline Carter would also be honored with a First Spouse coin. That's my understanding, anyway.[/QUOTE]
