<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 26449461, member: 4626&quot;]Exceptions can always be made, and they often have been.&nbsp; Calvin Coolidge is the only president so far on a coin while still alive, but Eunice Shreiver and whoever the governor of Alabama was in 1921 were on commemorative coins while still alive too.&nbsp; (Edit: I see someone above caught all the others.&nbsp; Nancy Reagan was technically still alive when her first lady coin was designed, but she died shortly before it was actually released.&nbsp; Point is though, exceptions can be made, and they have been a few times.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Technically it could be argued that as long as the coin fit the legislation it could be made; the legislation only says something about a &quot;1 dollar coin emblematic of the 250th anniversary&quot; and technically speaking, this fits the bill.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trying to avoid saying anything &quot;political&quot; about the person proposed to be depicted on this coin, I think it&#039;s OK for me to say I find it odd they&#039;d depict both the living, and the current, president on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse design looks OK but not a huge fan of the obverse design.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it does get made I will save at least one though.&nbsp; For the novelty if nothing else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
