willieboyd2 Pillar of the Community United States 524 Posts	Posted 06/01/2023 08:21 am Marilyn Monroe, the greatest American movie actress, was born on June 1, 1926 which means that 2026 will be the centennial of her birth. We should ask the Treasury Department to mint a commemorative coin. Such a coin would be a "best seller" as opposed to the commemoratives honoring obscure persons or events. Marilyn sings a numismatic song "One Silver Dollar" in the 1954 film "River of No Return": Marilyn sings "One Silver Dollar" (Written by Ken Darby and Lionel Newman) One silver dollar Bright silver dollar Changing hands, changing hands Love is a shining dollar Bright as a church bell's chime Gambled and spent and wasted https://www.brianrxm.com The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin Coins in Movies Coins on Television Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12250 Posts	Posted 06/01/2023 10:47 am I'm assuming you are making a joke here... While Marilyn Monroe was certainly an attractive actress, describing her as "the greatest American movie actress" would best be considered, IMO, a heapin' helpin' of hyperbole. On a serious note, I think 2026 should be reserved for commemorative coins connected to the 250th anniversary of American Independence - a true milestone in US history! .

jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 06/01/2023 10:56 am I would probably buy one if they minted it. Perhaps a medal? But commems is right, I think the 2026 schedule is already de facto booked.

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. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
