malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 11:28 am Just thought I would say that I realize one or 2 of these things may be incorrect. It was an email I received, I added pictures and have not studied up on these assassinations. Though I do realize that marilyn monroe was dead for a year already by the time kennedy died? Feel free to add corrections. :) Report this Post to the Staff

DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 5:27 pm I found a 1973 "Lincoln-Kennedy" Cent in circulation recently. Too bad they didn't do a "Kennedy-Lincoln" Half-Dollar back then... Report this Post to the Staff

Your right there is a coin like that and it pops up all the time on forums. They were sold with those cards with all those facts on them at the time. I just saw one of those coins posted somewhere without the card. I still have that card but not the coin now. The card has 22 similarities between those two presidents. Report this Post to the Staff
WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 6:39 pm "A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe." This is usually a joke tagline added to the end of these coincidences, but the way I heard it was, "The year before Lincoln was shot..." with the rest of line two's wording the same as in line one. No, it's not family friendly. Report this Post to the Staff
malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 03/28/2009 7:10 pm I saw that line too wpglwr. I just found it a little disrespectful. Not to mention my daughter has become quite taken with practicing her reading with forum posts so I figured my child is probably not the only one on here. :) Still even with one or 2 differences I still found it really neat how much these were similar. As for cards and coins that had this written on it? I would LOVE to find something like that! Anyone know where they might be sold? Report this Post to the Staff
