This year the US Mint issued $1 Presidential coins. Also, in June 2007 the mint released "The First Spouse Gold Coins". These are one-half ounce $10 gold coins honoring the "First Spouses".
We have been calling these women "First Ladies" for centuries. Only now that Hillary comes on the scene suddenly everyone, including the US Mint, starts kowtowing and trying to influence our language to get ready for her.
By the way, the first two coins sold out completely within 3 to 3 1/2 hours of being released at over $400 each.
If Bill Clinton gets a US Spouse coin, will both sides be “heads”?
Looking for news where there is none people ... move along.
She has accomplished NOTHING, has contributed NOTHING positive to society, and has never held an Executive position anywhere.
This makes as much sense as AlGore winning the Nobel Prize....
Actually the first two coins I believe were for Martha Washington & Abigail Adams. By the time they get to Hillary, maybe she will be on the presidential and first spouses coins. How bizarre that would be. I certainly hope not!
I’m being lazy ... but without checking it seems to me the head of the U.S. Mint is women ...
On second thought, some enterpreneur ought to market the “Hillary Clinton Doormat”.....
Unless he drops one while flipping it. Then he will be chasing tails.
I was thinking of one of those interactive Holloween props. You walk up to the house and the jack-o-lantern or witch or whatever starts cackling in Mrs. Clinton's voice. Scary.
