<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pere, post: 2217933, member: 59199&quot;]Many people made this assumption, but there is no such provision in the authorizing law. A careful reading, in fact, reveals that the program can only end &quot;when each President has been so honored, subject to paragraph (2)(E),&quot; which is the dead-at-least-two-years clause I mentioned. By law, there was no way to <i>not</i> do Reagan. The only question was whether Carter would die in time to get a coin first. He hasn&#039;t, and the Mint confirmed in February that Carter would be skipped, and <a href="http://www.coinnews.net/2015/03/06/ronald-reagan-presidential-1-coin-design-candidates/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinnews.net/2015/03/06/ronald-reagan-presidential-1-coin-design-candidates/" rel="nofollow">Reagan would be coined</a>, in 2016. Then the program will meet its terminal conditions. Carter and all the post-Reagan Presidents are locked out, unless a future Congress passes a new law to cover them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
