Today is Election day and I'm wondering how it will affect coin collecting

Been a long time since I logged in and got some questions that have been aching to get out of my fingers

Today is Election day and I'm wondering how it will affect coin collecting. I'm not talking about policy of either candidate or anything political so please refrain from bringing up R's or D's.

What I'm thinking about is the next presidential coinage to come in the future whenever it that might be.

Would anyone buy a President Clinton Coin here or a President Trump Coin?

If Clinton is elected she would be the 1st woman president and I wonder if that would push her to being on our everyday use coinage?

Also would there be some sort of push for Trump if elected to be on future everyday coinage as well?

like I said I'm not wanting to bring up politics here or mudslinging he/she is evil ect nonsense I just want a fun and informative conversation here with fellow cointalkers.

What, there is an election in the US today? Had no idea, tell me all about-----nah!

And yes, whoever becomes the next president may very well be depicted on coins or bills one day, once s/he is dead. Provided that there will still be such means of payment at that time.

Whatever happens the US mint will continue to produce 'coins' for collectors as long as there is a buck to be wrung out of the gullible who do not appreciate that stuff made as a collectable usually winds up as a big loss maker eventually.

 

I see no reason to believe that things won't be anything but business as usual .

 

I already have both on a 1 oz. copper round. They are facing each other. Time to get back to reality.

 

I'm curious if it will affect silver and gold pending who gets elected.

 

Let me wake Nostradamus, I'm sure he has the correct answer .........

 

Now kiss...

 

The Dow was up, up, up yesterday.

 

Personally, I like Lady Liberty on my coins, not presidents. The exception? - Lincoln Wheat Cents.

 

You asked me something?

 

Winning lotto numbers?

 

This Hilary looks like Motzart.

 

Here is something interesting I saw today (hope this is not political)
I want to share this image from ecoins.com -

 

Don't they have to be dead first to be on US MINT coinage or BEP paper money?

 

Yes. The moderator for cointalk mentioned it on the 2nd post of this thread.

 

They would have to make up first.

 

But,
Don't they have to be dead first to be on US MINT coinage or BEP paper money?


Unless they totally change the laws governing coinage and convert everything to their bust. Imagine all new coinage and paper money having one image on them.
Sounds plausible depending upon the candidate.

 

Newsweek delivered it's magazine today with Hillary on front cover as victor. "Madame President it says."
