<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1632025, member: 66&quot;]The circulation coins made money for the Government too.&nbsp; Thanks to the Senators previous bill the government lost around $400 million this year that the mint wasn&#039;t able to turn over to the General Fund as they had in previous years.&nbsp; (In other words the Senators bill to save the government money and to save the $3 million+ that the new storage facility would cost, actually ended up reducing the government income by $400 MILLION.)</p><p><br /></p><p>And currently the series ends at Ford&nbsp; Unless Carter dies before the middle of next year that will be where it ends.&nbsp; If he does die then it extends through Reagan.&nbsp; And once it is over it is over.&nbsp; It would require new legislation to issue any more coins after it ends in order to honor any further Presidents that die.&nbsp; The law as currently written is unclear on whether or not a living president can skipped over to get to a dead one.&nbsp; It could be interpreted either way.&nbsp; The Mint has taken the stance that they can&#039;t be skipped and their listing of issue dates ends with Ford.&nbsp; It did end with Nixon until Ford died. </p><p><br /></p><p>If Carter does die there is a fairly good chance that Bush will probably become eligible as well.&nbsp; Both are the same age with Bush a little older, and Bush has not been in good health recently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
