<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2839044, member: 66&quot;]Not by the courts, only by writers.&nbsp; In the laws written about US currency and coins they have always been careful to keep the laws relating to currency separate from those relating to the coinage.&nbsp; In many cases you will find essentially the exact same laws in both sections, one specifying currency and the other specifying coinage.&nbsp; For those laws that do apply to both typically both are specifically mentioned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would it make sense to also have the same restriction for coinage?&nbsp; Yes it would, but they never specifically did so.&nbsp; And you say that there was specific congressional approval for Shriver and Reagan to appear on their coins, I know of no such congressional approval (which would not have been needed) and there is none in the authorizing legislation.&nbsp; If you can provide a link to such authorization I&#039;d love to see it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
