I've recently posted a series of stories that discussed the early 1970s efforts in Congress to strike coins in celebration of the United States ("US") Bicentennial. For those with an interest, here's a linked list Index of the posts:

- What If? 1971 American Revolution Bicentennial
- What If? 1971 American Revolution Bicentennial - A Second Option
- What If? 1972 American Revolution Bicentennial - Dollars & Half Dollars
- What If? 1972 American Revolution Bicentennial - Dollars & Half Dollars - Again
- What If? 1973 American Revolution Bicentennial - Striking Gold?
- What If? 1973 American Revolution Bicentennial - The Evolution Continues
- What If? 1973 American Revolution Bicentennial - Alternate Approaches
- What If? 1973 American Revolution Bicentennial - A House Trio
- 1975-76 American Revolution Bicentennial - Success - Debate In The Senate
- 1975-76 American Revolution Bicentennial - Success - We Have Coin! - Part 1
- 1975-76 American Revolution Bicentennial - Success - We Have Coin! - Part 2
- What If? 1975-76 American Revolution Bicentennial - Endcap

Enjoy!

And it was an epic series indeed, filled with legislative maneuvering and odd twists and turns.

I enjoyed reading all of them.

Thank you for sharing your scholarship.
