That should get their attention, even if the amendment doesn&#039;t pass but to get an amendment proposed, isn&#039;t a simple task. :goofer: What would help is to find a governor that is an avid coin collector and get that governor to propose the amendment to their legislature and go from there. :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyone have an idea of who we can talk into this? :high5:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: I just found out Bill Clinton is/was an avid coin collector.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Maybe he might be a good place to start?&nbsp; :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
