<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 26544048, member: 4626&quot;]I mentioned this in another thread; there is a piece of legislation sitting on a table somewhere in Congress (hasn&#039;t even been voted on, as of last time I checked) that would authorize the Mint to just make another presidential dollar for any president that died and hasn&#039;t already been depicted on a presidential dollar (so, Carter and any other president after they die); this would end the need to have a separate piece of legislation for each president they want to add to the series, as had to be done for George H. W. Bush.&nbsp; IMO it stands a good chance of eventually passing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s quite likely Carter will get one eventually.&nbsp; It&#039;s clear enough people in Congress like the idea of the presidential dollar series effectively being a historical record of presidents in coin form, plus they bring in a lot of money to the Treasury when people collect them, even if they&#039;re seldom used in circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s a safe bet Carter will eventually get one, as would any other presidents a reasonable time after they die.&nbsp; It&#039;s not certain at this point, but I think it&#039;s at least 98% likely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
