This morning's New York Times has an interesting article about a new series of dollar coins.
The United States Mint is planning a series of one-dollar coins to feature every deceased president, with the date stamped into the edge.
The first coin, displaying George Washington on one side and the Statue of Liberty on the other, will go into circulation in mid-February, in time for Presidents’ Day. After that, coins with John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison will be issued at three-month intervals.
Four more will appear, in order of each president’s service, every year until 2016.
This should be pretty cool. I like the state quarters that have been and are being issued. Coin collectors are sure to be happy.
And my kids will both get $40.00 from me sometime after 2016.
