<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 272694, member: 4626&quot;]This gets asked a lot... the rules as they stand for the program is that each president will be honored, in the order in which they served, if they have been dead for at least 2 years when their term comes up.&nbsp; Even though Reagan would otherwise qualify, he can not be honored unless Carter dies between now and 2014, else he would be honored out of order.&nbsp; The program ends when the last president who qualifies at the time their turn comes up.&nbsp; No other presidents will be honred after the program ends under the current legislation; it would take an act of Congress to do otherwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Currently the program is only guaranteed to continue up to and including Gerald Ford.&nbsp; It may continue longer depending on the lifespans of current and future former presidents.</p><p><br /></p><p>First spouse coins have the same restrictions, plus the first ladies can only be honored at the same time the president they were married to is.&nbsp; Currently the first spouse program is only guaranteed to continue up to and including Jacky Kennedy (though it&#039;s very likely Lady Bird Johnson, now 94, will die before her term comes up).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
