| #9 No, all the dead Presidents should be on the $1 coin. And I would buy the Carter and Clinton coins, just to piss on them. |

| #8 There's truly a persuasive case to be made that the Mint should just not bother with Pierce, Fillmore, and Buchanan (enforcers of the Fugitive Slave Act and enablers of Southern secession), Harding, Johnson, and Nixon.

| #3 It's a money making scheme. It prolly costs about 20 cents to make one dollar coin, and peeps will collect them, so the mint releases them at about 80 cents profit each. They never get into common usage, so the mint presses on. |
