<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Indianhead65, post: 209064, member: 103422&quot;]Have any of you guys read this? In the April edition of <b>Coins </b>magazine theres an article that reads as follows.......</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;Quarter Bill</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;For the fifth time in as many Congresses, legislation to authorize the equivelent of a six coin extension to thr 50 State quarter program has passed the house of representatives. Action came at 1:28 p.m. on Jan. 23,2007, passed on the consent calendar unanimously,&quot; reports David L. Ganz in the Feb. 6 issue of Coins sister publication, <i>Numismatic News. </i>&quot;The last time it had similarly passed was in the wee morning hours of Dec. 9, 2006, as the last sands of the 109th Congress slipped through the hour glass. &quot;The 2006 action then shifted to the Senate, which ajourned an hour later without taking action, thus killing the measure. Under legislative rules, the initiative dies when the session of Congress terminates, and must be reintroduced, which it was, if it is to become a reality.</p><p>&nbsp; &quot;Providing for inclusion of a circulating quarter dollar coin program for the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the United States Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marinara Islands, H.R. 392 would add an 11th year to the existing 10 year program, currently slated to terminate in 2008.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Six additional coins would be struck the following year, presumably at the rate of about one in every eight weeks, compared to the rate now employed of approximately one every ten weeks.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The bill now moves to the Senate.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Id like to know your opinion of this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
