<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 355798, member: 66&quot;]Come on one of them has to be first.&nbsp; If King had been first the feminists would upset, and with SBA first the Black right s activists are upset.&nbsp; So no matter which you chose someone was going to be unhappy.&nbsp; Well las t I looked there were more women than there were blacks so you make the larger group happier first.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is the Mint racist?&nbsp; Well considering the Mint doesn&#039;t make the decision as to who is on the coin I think you owe them an apology for your accusation, and maybe you should ask if the Congress is racist?&nbsp; And I think you would be on shaky grounds there as well since there have been several coin issues with themes dedicated to blacks Booker T Washington, Washington-Carver, Black patriots, Jackie Robinson, and Little Rock.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said I have no objection to a King coin (even though he had skeletons in his closet as well) but I would rather it be on a commemorative coin.&nbsp; (And&nbsp; I would like to see it as a circulating commemorative) but I would really like to get all the real people off the regular coins.&nbsp; Putting real people on regular coins creates all kinds of political headaches when you want to make changes.&nbsp; If they were on a circulating commemorative it would be created for a set period and there would be no &quot;fallout&quot; when it&#039;s time period ended and its production ceased.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the quarter would be a good choice for the commemorative coin and it would be produced&nbsp; along with whatever the regular design was, one commem design per year, striking 300 million or so of them and mix them in the bags with the regular coins.&nbsp; It would make hoarding more difficult, disburse them well, and they would be common enough&nbsp; that people could find them i chnge for their collections.&nbsp; Yes, I think a King quarter in 2018 would be a good idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
