The New Dollar Coins...

OFF TOPIC (so no one gets bent out of shape) -

I believe there were romantic letter between Martin Van Buren and a male friend, although historians explain it away as the flowery writing style of the time when people actualy were literate enough to write something other than "sup? r u ok? lol."

``(D) DESIGN IN CASE OF NO FIRST SPOUSE.--In the
case of any President who served without a spouse--
``(i) the image on the obverse of the bullion coin
corresponding to the $1 coin relating to such President
shall be an image emblematic of the concept of
`Liberty'--
``(I) as represented on a United States coin
issued during the period of service of such Presi-
dent; or
``(II) as represented, in the case of President
Chester Alan Arthur, by a design incorporating
the name and likeness of Alice Paul, a leading
strategist in the suffrage movement, who was
instrumental in gaining women the right to vote
upon the adoption of the 19th amendment and
thus the ability to participate in the election of
future Presidents, and who was born on January
11, 1885, during the term of President Arthur;
and
``(ii) the reverse of such bullion coin shall be of
a design representative of themes of such President,
except that in the case of the bullion coin referred
to in clause (i)(II) the reverse of such coin shall be
representative of the suffrage movement.
``(E) DESIGN AND COIN FOR EACH SPOUSE.--A separate
coin shall be designed and issued under this section for
each person who was the spouse of a President during
any portion of a term of office of such President.

Wilson's second wife may have been pretty important historically. It's widely believed she made some important decisions for him during the time he was recuperating from a stroke.

Regarding what the Mint will do about the gold coin, and two Mrs. Wilsons, I don't know.

I have an idea that will go well with the presidental dollars and the first spouses. The presidents pets collections. It can include all the dogs, horses, cats, and even fish on platinum coins.
