<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 547503, member: 4626&quot;]Well probably 2016, on the presidential dollars at least.&nbsp; (Still some debate, a debeate I don&#039;t want to reopen here, as to whether the legislation would allow for a Reagan dollar if Carter is still alive... it&#039;s a matter of interpretation that hasn&#039;t had an official conclusive declaration made, yet.)</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s been proposals for a Reagan commemorative, but they backed off because Nancy Reagan doesn&#039;t want one, not yet at least.&nbsp; Not like she has veto power if Congress decided to pass legislation to put one out or anything, but when the president&#039;s wisow is still alive they tend to respect her wishes (Jackie Kennedy was consulted on the JFK half dollar, for example.&nbsp; At one point they were considering putting JFK on the quarter but they didn&#039;t because Jackie didn&#039;t want JFK to replace Washington.).</p><p><br /></p><p>2011 would be a good year for one I think; would be the 100th anniversary of his birth.&nbsp; Maybe Nancy can be convinced to go for it then.&nbsp; There&#039;s been other commemoratives put out on the 100th anniversary of a president&#039;s birth before; the 1990 Eisenhower silver dollar, for example.&nbsp; Well arguably also the Lincoln cent (was started in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Lincoln&#039;s birth, though it was a circulating coin, not a true &quot;commemorative&quot; in the sense that word&#039;s usually used.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I seem to recall some science fiction short story somewhere... can&#039;t for the life of me remember the name or author... set at some point in the future, where Reagan was featured on a circulation $3 coin, commonly referred to as &quot;Reagans&quot; by people.&nbsp; Be interesting to see that denomination again... though perhaps something like a $1 or $5 coin would be more practical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
