<p>[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 917703, member: 19765"]Absolutely assnine! If you see the coin specs below the plan is to place 5 faces on the 5 Star General coin. Even when the US Mint has tried to honor 2 ppl on one coin the idea has flopped!! Here's a Booker T. Washington and Carver coin that was a 1953 Commemorative as an example, not a good example I know but I couldn't think of any others. Doesn't the CCAC or the US mint engravers get to attend the Congress hearings on these coin ideas cause something in the process sux, plain and simple!! I had tried to place a pdf of the whole HR-1177 but it didn't work, so here's part of it!! <b> :rolling:</b></p><p> </p><p><b>---------------------------------------------------------------</b></p><p> </p><p><b>SEC. 4.
