<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 605469, member: 66"]If you mean by "will any new coins be added to the program" will they continue issuing coins for Presidents already eligible, yes they have to unless Congress passes legislation that cancels the program. They could possibly delay issuing them, but they have to issue them. If you mean will they add more Presidents and issue coins for them if they become eligible, the answer is yes under the law they have to. The last one they added was Gerald Ford. There is still some question as to whether or not a coin will be issued for Ronald Reagan since there is a break in the list of eligible Presidents. (Carter is still alive at this time and it is unclear in the law whether it is permissible to skip over a living president to honor one who has died.) Some have said that skipping living Presidents is OK, but the list of when each Presidents coin will be issued that is posted on the Mints website ends with Ford. Before Fords death it used to end with Nixon. So it would seem that the Mint does feel that Presidents can not be skipped. But if Carter dies before 2014 then both he and Reagan would be added to the list of coins to be produced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
