Dead Presidents, now in gold!

[dougo]

Following the success of the State Quarters program, the US Mint will be releasing Presidential $1 coins starting this year with the first four US Presidents (Washington through Madison) and four per year until... I guess until they catch up with the current President? Or maybe there's some rule about only dead ones, or only five years out of office like the Baseball Hall of Fame. Anyway, I'm not looking forward to having to carry Reagan coins, let alone GWB. But Chester A. "Muttonchops" Arthur will be fun. And Grover Cleveland gets two different coins, apparently!

So let's see, the first year is 2007, and there are four per year, so that means I can take a giant shit on a Bush coin in, what, 2017 or after he dies, whichever comes first?

Sweet!

Whichever comes last, that is. blah.

With $1 coins you could make a money helmet!
