<p>[QUOTE="davedawg, post: 307374, member: 9026"]Are you serious? Are there any articles on this, where did you get this info? If that's the real reason I think it's pretty lame. Plenty of famous people come from various states and their state coins aren't as inflated. E.g., Abraham Lincoln, one of the most famous presidents in U.S. history, was born in Kentucky and spent most of his life in Illinois. He was, obviously, assassinated in D.C. (if they decide to make a coin for D.C. and other places like Puerto Rico and Guam), and those coin rolls won't be inflated either. or maybe they will, who knows.) And he is on 2 different forms of U.S. currency! In addition, individual TN coins have the same value as other coins, it's only the rolls that are more expensive. Is it a possibility that there were a lower number of rolls produced by the mints compared to other states because most of the TN coins were sold and/or distributed by mint sewn bags? To me, that would make more sense, but Elvis being the reason, no disrespect to him, sounds pretty #*@! stupid. But maybe that"s just TN for ya.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
