<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1555787, member: 66&quot;]Currently the series is planned to go through Ford.&nbsp; They will not jump over Carter to get to Reagan.&nbsp; Now if Carter dies before mid 2014 then the series will go through Reagan.&nbsp; If George H W Bush also dies by mid 2014 then the series will include him as well.&nbsp; If Carter dies AFTER mid 2014 but before the end of the series he will not be eligible for a coin (the law says they have to have been dead for two years before their coin comes out)&nbsp; and I don&#039;t know if they would then do Reagan or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nancy Reagan did not say she did not want Reagan on a coin, she did not want him replacing Roosevelt on the dime which was what was being promoted.&nbsp; She was also against him replacing one of the currently appearing Presidents.&nbsp; Taking his turn on the dollar coin should be no problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>What will be interesting would be if Carter dies in time to be eligible, and if Rosiline Carter and Nancy Reagan are still alive in 2016.&nbsp; While the law requires the President to have been dead for two years before being on the coin, there is no such restriction on the First Ladies so they could appear on the First Spouse coins while still alive.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Unemployment was 7.5% when Reagan took office (It reached a high of 10.8% in Dec of 81) and 5.4% when he left. (Low point was 5.3% in Dec of 1988)&nbsp; </p><p>Inflation rate was 11.8% when Reagan took office (That was the high point for his two years) and 4.7% when he left.&nbsp; (Low point was Dec of 1986 at 1.1%)&nbsp; The annual average inflation rate went from 10.3% in 1981 to 4.1% in 1988 with the lowest being 1986 at 1.9%[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
