I didn't realize this bill had passed in the House (I thought I was paying attention to such things), and I ensured I'd embarrass myself by not looking at the article date of April 28! So is the only thing left for the bill is to be passed by the Senate? Or are there two versions that somehow have to be grafted together?

JAM +1 Personally I would rather they pass the "District of Columbia and United States Territories Circulating Quarter Dollar Program Act" (H.R. 2993 from the 108th Congress) finish off the state quarter series in 2009. This presidential dollar series does not impress me plus I am against the idea of having a living President, current or former, on any of our coinage. |

There is a companion bill in the Senate (I have posted the link MANY times -
look for posts about cosponsors). As of yesterday there are 44 out of 100 Senators who are cosponsors - from both sides of the aisle. -- -Fred Shecter remove zorch two places to reply Current eBay auctions: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQgotopage...sortpropertyZ1 "Paul Anderson" wrote in message ...

Didn't the Roman emperors have their likenesses on coins? Appropriate!

And that will not happen any time soon. |

Ah, you did not read my message from several weeks ago where I detailed
what a bank employee told me. It involved a meeting with the Fed and local bank folks where they were informed of the plans to phase out the dollar bill as the Presidential Dollar Coin program is underway. I think they should do it faster, they want to take their time - perhaps to produce the billions of coins needed to supply the economy. Time to remove the feeding tube from the rag dollar. -Fred Shecter |

Where did you hear this? Well a friend of a friend who knows a guy that has a son who dating a girl whos father is a friend of a limo driver who substituted for another driver that drove a political guy who drinks at a restaurant over heard the bus boy saying he heard the story through the mens room attendant who put his ear up against the stall and heard the political man mumbling to himself, so it MUST BE TRUE!!!!.
