<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 26091271, member: 4626&quot;]Not entirely unprecedented in a sense; Calvin Coolidge was on a commemorative coin in 1926 for the US&#039;s 150th anniversary, while still alive and still the current president.&nbsp; (From what I understand he wasn&#039;t too fond of the idea, but eventually have in.&nbsp; The designer wanted George Washington and also the current president at the time on the coin.)&nbsp; Though that was a commemorative and not intended to be spent.&nbsp; A lot of people felt similarly when $2 bills were re-introduced in 1976; treated as a commemorative souvenir rather than something to actually use, why to this day $2 bills aren&#039;t used frequently.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still though it&#039;s an unusual denomination and making change for it would require retailers to keep more cash on hand.&nbsp; Having a denomination higher than $100 again may make sense, just not so sure about $250 specifically.&nbsp; I know why they want that denomination, so it can come out during the 250th anniversary of the country next year, but how long would it be a particularly useful denomination?&nbsp; Honestly something more like $200 would probably make more sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s a long shot that this would actually go through.&nbsp; It would be a tough sell for an unusual denomination it&#039;s hard to argue a need for; could be a repeat of the 20 cent piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course I&#039;m going to want to save one for my collection if it does go through.&nbsp; I think a lot of people would.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
