<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1647620, member: 4626&quot;]We all have to go some time.&nbsp; Don&#039;t see what&#039;s so &quot;sick&quot; about contemplating it.&nbsp; It&#039;s fair to point out that so far only 4 presidents have lived to 90 or older, and both Carter and George H.W. Bush will have their 90th birthday next year, if they live that long.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both Carter and Bush are in fairly stable health (though was a close call with Bush recently) last I checked.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it&#039;s a matter of interpretation as to whether or not Reagan can get a coin if Carter is still alive.&nbsp; Reagan died in 2004 and will have been dead 12 years (legislation says it only needs to be 2) in 2016 when his turn comes up.&nbsp; But it&#039;s unclear whether the president previous to him (Carter) also needs to have been dead for 2 years for him to be honored.&nbsp; It seems most people seem to believe so, but the legislation isn&#039;t 100% clear on the matter, it only says &quot;they must be honored in order&quot; which can be interpreted to mean no Reagan coin if there&#039;s no Carter coin, or just that Ford gets his, then they can move up to the next person that qualifies.&nbsp; The Mint hasn&#039;t officially said one way or the other (though their proposed release schedule doesn&#039;t currently include Reagan).&nbsp; We will see I guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
