<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1883816, member: 5233&quot;]I don&#039;t know if that&#039;s it.&nbsp; I think it has become &quot;tradition&quot; to have our &quot;great&quot; presidents on our coins.&nbsp; We started it in 1909 for the 100th anniversary of Lincoln&#039;s birthday and it has been happening ever since.&nbsp; I also think it would be very hard to remove a President from our coins.&nbsp; These people are supposed to be the &quot;best&quot; we have had...and voting to remove them might be a bad move politically.&nbsp; Remember, a president has never been removed from a circulation coin.&nbsp; Of course, one might say that Eisenhower was...but that&#039;s not really true.&nbsp; Ike&#039;s coin was discontinued because of lack of use...not because he was voted off the coin.&nbsp; It took the removal of an entire type of coin (the large &quot;silver&quot; dollar) to remove a dead president.&nbsp; I&#039;ll bet the next time a dead president is removed from one of our coins...it will be Lincoln and only when they discontinue the cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
