Quote:
Such a coin would be a "best seller" as opposed to the commemoratives honoring obscure persons or events.
I believe the guiding doctrine behind the issuing of "obscure people" commemoratives is that it was believed by the design committee that these people should be better known, and thus the coins are helping to advertise and promote their existence and contribution to society. From that perspective, Marilyn Monroe is already famous, so doesn't need the help.
Whether or not such coins would become bestsellers would, I strongly suspect, depend on the final design.
