<p>[QUOTE=&quot;glaciermi, post: 84064, member: 4097&quot;]after reading this.. I can&#039;t vent much more enthusiasm than a &lt;shrug&gt;, although I HEART TEDDY.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is the Theodore Roosevelt Commemorative Coin Act?</p><p><br /></p><p>Introduced by Rep. Peter T. King of New York, HR 389 requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins to commemorate the 2006 centenary of the bestowal of the Nobel Peace Prize on President Theodore Roosevelt. The bill instructs the Secretary to issue up to one million $1 coins with the image of Theodore Roosevelt. Funds raised through a $10 surcharge on the coins will be earmarked for the development of educational programs and structures, including a visitors center, at the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note that HR 389 is &quot;revenue neutral.&quot; The measure will cost the Federal government nothing, all costs of production being included in the price the public pays for the coins. Note also that Federal law requires funds from commemorative coin bills be matched by privately secured funds raised by the group receiving the surcharges, in this case the TRA. All told, between the surcharges and anticipated fundraising for the match, there is a chance here to raise as much as $20 million.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
