The 1995 Special Olympics Commemorative Dollar coin featured the bust of founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver and was issued while she was still very much alive.</p><p><br /></p><p>This may also happen a few times with the Presidential Dollar series. It looks as if the first ladies are going to live long enough to see the end of the series and in so doing, will see their own busts on gold half eagles when they are minted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
