My next submission is from the same game... by the way, when did Shell do that game?
EDIT: found my answer. 1968 was one time they did it. Apparently there were other times they did the same thing with other Presidential tokens in later years.

I have had some of these since I was a kid. And frankly, with the two coins I have... I remember that I thought it was funny we had presidents with the names Garfield and Grover... two very important people to me as I was growing up!!!

Thanks Joe... I don't have the Hayes or Lincoln dollars, so if someone could provide good individual scans of those, that will get us up to date on the dollars. I also am adding one of my multiple Truman tokens.

Been a little while... the only president I currently have something scanned... that doesn't have something already posted... is this Coolidge token. A little rough, but it's the best I've got for him.
Image
Harrison, Taft, Wilson, Harding, Hoover, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush? Anyone got one of those guys? Not that we need to limit our pics to new presidents, by any means. There are still HUNDREDS of coins and tokens out there!

Been a week and a half... who's next? Someone post a nice 46 Roosy! Let's do first-year pics of all the circulating types... How about a 38 Jefferson? 32 Washington?

Nice token! Thanks for your submission. I went ahead and took my turn by adding a 46 Roosevelt dime too. Who's next?

I guess I missed the Liberia coin.
Here's my next - found in one of the kids' beds tonight after having friends over! Funny.
Does anyone see the irony in this picture?

Alright, here's another. Just to blow the dust off this thread. Another Eisenhower, this time a token.

I like this idea, and the accumulated results, too much to let it go. Another Truman token...

Post one a day, but we can still keep the thread going. There are plenty more coins and tokens to be added after. Who is the latest president represented?
