I'd be interested to hear your opinions on whether or not you think the US Mint will make a JIMMY CARTER DOLLAR COIN.
My notes say:
Presidential dollar program ended in 2016 with coins of Nixon, Ford and Reagan.
G.H.W. Bush died Nov 30, 2018.
Bill to mint a Bush coin introduced to Congress Feb 12, 2019.
That bill was signed into law Jan 28, 2020.
The coin was eventually released on Dec 4, 2020.
So...
REAGAN's coin issued in 2016 with Nixon and Ford proved they didn't HAVE to be released in presidential order. Then BUSH's coin in 2020 proved they were willing to issue one after the end of the initial program. Was the 24-month gap between death and coin issuance a requirement of the bill, or a result of the Covid pandemic, or some combination of both?
