<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 266135, member: 66&quot;]An amendment was passed and add to a bill in the House that would have prevented the mint from using any of their budget appropriation for producing coins with inscriptions on the edge.&nbsp; The amendment was approved and the bill was assed an sent to the Senate.&nbsp; So far nothing has happened in the Senate as far as I know.</p><p><br /></p><p>The amendment is seriously flawed though.&nbsp; It does not remove the inscriptions from the edge of the dollar.&nbsp; It does not put the inscriptions on the face of the coin.&nbsp; The Dollar coin legislation MANDATES that the inscriptions appear on the edge.&nbsp; So if the mint makes president dollar they HAVE to have the inscriptions on the edge, but perthe amendment they are not allowed o spend any money to make them.&nbsp; So if the bill is passed into law and the amendmant is not removed or changed, the result would be that the mint will not be able to strke president dollars legally.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And if they simply remove the inscriptions from the edge without specifying where they should appear on the coin then they would not appear on the coin at all because the dollar legislation specificly exempts the dollar coin from pervious laws that did mandate there appearance on the coins. So if they simply take them off, there is no law that puts it back on. That woud mean coins with no IGWT, no E PLURBUS UNUM, no date, and no mintmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bad amendment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
