Excerpt:
Bush won’t even be good enough for
the penny after they stop making them.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — The U.S. Mint is hoping that Martin Van Buren and Millard Fillmore can do what Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea couldn’t – get Americans to use dollar coins.
The Mint on Monday revealed the design of the new U.S. $1 coin, which will be issued in a series that will eventually include the faces of each U.S. president.
Design of the new $1 coin, part of series that will include the faces of each U.S. President.
It will release four new presidential dollars each year, starting with George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 2007. The Van Buren dollar will be released in 2008 and the Fillmore in 2010.
Richard M. Nixon, who resigned in disgrace in 1974 in the wake of the Watergate scandal, will appear on the coin in 2016.
H.L.s Take
This is a move by Bush to legitimize him in History. By the time the Nixon coin comes out in 2016, no one will remember what an A**hole he was, People will think, “hey he was another President just like Abe Lincoln and John Kennedy. It won’t work, Bush will go down in History as the worst President ever by far, and someone will stop this travesty way before then.

Lovely. Two of the worst presidents in my lifetime get their mug shot on the dollar. The only mug shot I want to see is one of Bush in Ft. Leavenworth. As far as Nixon goes, he’s dead. Good riddance!
