<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 25999512, member: 4626&quot;]Reagan&#039;s coin was already authorized under the original legislation for the presidential dollar series (nothing in the legislation said they can&#039;t skip a living president if the president after him was deceased.&nbsp; I remember arguing this with people until I was blue in the face with people who insisted otherwise, but well I was proven right eventually lol, so there).&nbsp; Officially the series ended in 2016 with the issuance of the Reagan dollar.&nbsp; A separate piece of legislation authorized an additional one for George H. W. Bush to be minted in 2020; technically the language of the legislation made this a separate coin issue, but it was chosen to keep the design elements so it fit with the rest of the 2007-2016 presidential dollar series.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would take a separate piece of legislation to authorize one for Carter, but the precedent has been set with Bush so I imagine it will likely happen 2026/2027 or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think there would be much pushback in just eventually authorizing every current and future president 2 years after they die, so this series may effectively go on indefinitely.&nbsp; The Bush dollar already set the precedent.&nbsp; I can&#039;t imagine what arbitrary reason anyone would come up with that it should stop for any president that served after George H. W. Bush.&nbsp; If they&#039;re going to honor some, may as well do all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
