Yes, the Senators/Representatives introduce the legislation, but there are plenty of advisors for the various committees and legislative assistants to do that actual work.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: Can you image having a 2001-D clad half-dollar version of the Buffalo commemorative?. All that was done was the silver BU and silver Proof (and later the 99.99 gold bullion) so someone had enough clout to prevent a half-dollar version of this coin. From PCGS CoinFacts:</p><p><br /></p><p><i><font face="Georgia">The 2001 Buffalo Dollar coins today, exist thanks to Ben Nighthorse Campbell from Colorado. Campbell was one of forty-four chiefs from the Northern Cheyenne Tribe. It all began in 1995, when Campbell proposed the reintroduction of the buffalo design on a U.S. coin. Campbell’s original proposal was to produce a five-cent coin made out of silver depicting the historical buffalo design. However, his proposal was turned down by congress numerous times.</font></i></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial">A 5-cent silver commemorative!? Has anyone looked at the RoyalMint.com? They make a regular proof set and an ALL SILVER proof set (so no copper or nickel). I&#039;m not sure if they&#039;re hobbled like the US where coinage requires legislative laws.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
