![]() What do you think about a Reagan coin in 2016? Tell us in the comment section below! Thomas DeLorey: "I have no objection to the living widow of a deceased President appearing on a First Spouse Coin, but I do object to the Mint issuing a President Reagan dollar out of sequence, since his predecessor, President Jimmy Carter, is still alive and well and doing great work for mankind." It's not like it will give them special powers and propel them back into office." Let's agree either way it would be a set that is never complete we hope."ĭaniel Pon: "I've got no problem with seeing a living ex-president on a coin. Of course, assassinated presidents present a different perspective. ![]() I don't remember a lot of resistance then. But the counter is JFK on the half in 64. ![]() Half the country would have been enraged to see Lincoln on coin or currency in 1865.

Gary Dunaier: "I may be in the minority here, but I think I'd like to see the set include the living ex-presidents as well, up to - but not including - the current occupant, At the current rate of four coins a year, including all of the living ex-presidents, would take us to 2017 and include Obama, since he would leave office on January 20 of that year." Joshua Holman: "I'm tickled pink as my collection will be complete!!! Now what to do with all the extra holes in my Dansco…." But I wonder if the fact that Nancy Reagan is still alive will open up another can of worms, since they're obviously planning to include her in the First Spouses set." Gary Dunaier: "I was never a big fan of Reagan, but I agree that since he's deceased he should be included in the set. I'd say proceed, because I see kids learn more about the world every time they study a new coin." What would happen to the planning process if he were to pass away? Certainly, I wouldn't want the series to stop, but a pause would also be awkward. I'm sure President Carter would rather be alive than be on a coin. Here are some of the comments that we've recieved so far:īob Yamtich: "For me, I think it is important to be clear that it isn't about politics. Not surprsingly, we have heard from Facebook fans who support of the Reagan dollar coin, and from fans who are against it (be it for personal or numismatic reasons).
