[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1884167, member: 112"]Not exactly Mike. But that is what Rep. Castle wanted and proposed in his original bill. But it was later decided to instead honor Native Americans, and that's what Sacagawea represents, not Lady Liberty. In - [I]PUBLIC LAW 105–124—DEC. 1, 1997[/I] - which is the act which approved the Sacagawea dollar In - [I]SEC. 4. UNITED STATES DOLLAR COINS.[/I] it states - [I](d) DESIGN.—Section 5112(d)(1) of title 31, United States Code, is amended by striking the fifth and sixth sentences and inserting the following: "The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Congress, shall select appropriate designs for the obverse and reverse sides of the dollar coin.’’[/I] In the actual coin act there is no mention of Lady Liberty being used on the dollar coin at all.[/QUOTE]
