Prometheus 6

All respect and no restraint

Another first for the Clintons

You know about the Presidential $1 Coin series? Well, there's a First Spouse program.

2007 Presidential $1 Coin image from the United States Mint. The United States is honoring our Nation’s First Spouses by issuing one-half ounce $10 gold coins featuring their images, in the order that they served as first spouse, beginning in 2007 with Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, (Thomas Jefferson's Liberty) and Dolley Madison. The obverse of these coins will feature portraits of the Nation’s First Spouses, their names, the dates and order of their term as first spouse, as well as the year of minting or issuance, "In God We Trust" and "Liberty." The United States Mint will mint and issue First Spouse Gold Coins on the same schedule as the Presidential $1 Coins issued honoring the Presidents. Each coin will have a unique reverse design featuring an image emblematic of that spouse’s life and work, as well as "The United States of America," "E Pluribus Unum," "$10," "1/2 oz." and ".9999 Fine Gold."

This means that if Sen. Clinton manages to ascend to the office of President, both she and Bill will have a coin in both series.
