<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 226096, member: 4626&quot;]So far as we know right now anyway.&nbsp; If Carter dies between now and 2014, Carter and Reagan will get coins too.&nbsp; It all depends on the lifespans of the current and future living former presidents.&nbsp; The series will continue until all presidents who have been dead for 2 years or more by the time their turn comes up are honored; when nobody else whose turn has come up qualifies (an otherwise qualified person will not be honored if a previous president does not qualify; so Reagan will not be honored unless and until Carter is first) the series will end (for any presidents to be honored after that, it will require another act of Congress).</p><p><br /></p><p>So far the series is guaranteed to go up to at least Ford in 2016, but that may change, especially depending on how long Carter and Bush Sr. live.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same thing holds for the first spouse coins.&nbsp; So far they are only guaranteed to continue up tyo Jacquliene (sp?) Kennedy, though it is very likely Lady Bird Johnson (now 93) will die by the time her turn comes up, allowing the series to continue to at least Pat Nixon, maybe even Betty Ford by then.&nbsp; First spouse coins are further resitricted than the presidents; in order for a first spouse to be honored, she must be honored in turn, when he husband is honored, and she has to have been dead for at least 2 years at the time her turn comes up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
