I was wondering, will the US Mint be making Golden Clinton dollar coins in the distant future? And will the presidents wife dollar coins feature Monica or Hilary?  |

Did you mean the Clinton "Gold Digger" coin? Jim  |

Well, if Bill, and even perhaps Hillary herself, are dead two years before the program runs out, then (t)he(y) will be on them.
Hillary, of course was the First Lady, and under a Hillary presidency, I guess Bill would be First Gentleman.

That's right. 2 coins for both Bill and Hillary. One for President, one for First Lady/Gentleman.
Clinton isn't the first President to cheat on his wife. He's just the first that became a media spectacle.

Clinton definitely wasn't the first. It goes back to Warren G. Harding, and before. On the topic of Presidential dollars, I wish it would be an on-going series, rather than stopping abruptly in 2012 or whenever they figure the last eligible President would be pictured on the dollar. Why not just mint a new one as past Presidents become eligible? Edited by Gary Burke

Beautiful photo and coin, I don't remember the visit. Did Clinton's visit help with the relief of the earthquake?

There was a serious help from all around the world after the '99 earthquake.
Clinton's visit was a great moral support and I believe there was some economical support as well. I don't remember the exact details.

Actually, probably not. When you consider how much a visit from the President disrupts things here, I would imagine a visit into a disaster area results in an even larger security force and probably a huge disruption in rescue and aid efforts in any area he visits. |

Well, the earthquake took place on August 17th.
Mr Clinton's visit was Nov 15 to 20th. All the search and rescue process was over.
And as far as I remember, he was walking among ordinary people living in tents, maybe that was just what we saw on TV, but that's why he is probably the favourite U.S. president here.
