One thing s for sure,we'd rarely have to look at another
dead president on a coin again.Maybe someone like FDR or Monroe-someone
who has made great contributions but has yet to be acknowledged fully
for them.
I was thinking the same thing. A series of "jobs". Waiter/waitress,
cab driver, bue driver, steel workers, mint workers, chefs,
farmers, factory workers, carpenters, the list is so very long.
Even in this small group of people on RCC, would still be many years of
coins with different jobs.

I'd start with Walt Disney.


Disney already has their own mint in production! Here's a small part of my
collection of Disney coins:

I have a few more that I've picked up during a trip about a year ago, but don't
have any scans of those.

Also, don't forget that they have their own spendable currency as well --
disney dollars!

The disney tokens look nice I was wondering what they are made of Copper
or brass? Ed

Uh, it was Michael Collins that was on the Apollo 11 mission and didn't walk on
the moon. FWIW, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin was the second man to walk on the moon.

I ain't walked on the moon, neither (yet). :-)
