<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 650787, member: 66&quot;]Numbers is correct, the &quot;fact&quot; is not a fact.&nbsp; There is no general law forbidding a living person on a coin.&nbsp; The prohibition of no living person on the state quarter or no living president on the President dollar is specific to those coins.&nbsp; As he mentioned if Nancy Reagan lives long enough she could become a living person on the first spouse coins (Is Betty Ford still alive?&nbsp; I know ladybird Johnson died not too long ago.)</p><p><br /></p><p>He explained why the prohibition is in place for currency, but even if there had been coins with living persons on them they would not have been included in that law.&nbsp; The government is very specific about keeping the laws dealing with currency separate from those dealing with coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interestingly there is no time limit about how long a person must be dead before he can be pictured on the currency.&nbsp; This is in contrast with stamps where a person must be dead at least 25 years before he can be pictured on a stamp.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
