(r)(1), which includes a provision that “Effective beginning January 1, 2009, <u>notwithstanding subsection (d)</u> . . . the Secretary shall mint and issue $1 coins . . . [with] a design on the reverse [which] shall bear--(i) images celebrating the important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans to the development of the United States and the history of the United States;(ii) the inscription `$1&#039; ; and (iii) the inscription `United States of America&#039;”.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, the Bill effectively writes subdv. (d) out of the law governing the modified Sac dollars.&nbsp; The Deadprez bill requirement for continued Sac dollar production would be satisfied by the modified Sacs, which don&#039;t need an Eagle on the reverse; so we only get two more dollar series than we need, not three. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse will “contain the so-called `Sakakawea [Congressman Dorgan’s* spelling - not mine <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />] design and the inscription `Liberty&#039;.&nbsp; In order to perpetuate the incompetent minting procedure now being used: the coins will have an edge inscription of the year of minting and issuance of the coin and the inscriptions `E Pluribus Unum&#039; and `In God We Trust&#039;.&nbsp; (No mention of where the mint marks are to go.) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.cosgan.de/smiliegenerator/ablage/124/271.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>*You don&#039;t know how much self control it took not to substitute a &quot;k&quot; for the &quot;g&quot; in the Congressman&#039;s name.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
