Doesn't the mint giving them a dollar figure make them actual legal tender that could (heaven forbid) be spent for their face value, therefore making these modern coins (just like the ASE)? All the commemoratives have values. They need a value assigned to be a coin and not a medal. When its just a medal very few people care but put a face value on it and call it a coin and interest sky rockets. Report this Post to the Staff

Commemorative Coins Adobe Acrobat Reader Commemorative coin programs are created by acts of Congress to honor a person, place or event. Surcharges from the sales of these coins help fund a variety of organizations and projects that benefit the public. Commemorative coins are only available from the United States Mint for a limited time, as specified by public law. Report this Post to the Staff
