| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
|  The United States Mint announced that new dollar coins will begin being minted featuring the images of all 37 of the nation's deceased Presidents. President Bush signed a law that provided for this new line of Presidential coinage. Lawmakers believe that these new dollar coins, together with $10 gold pieces featuring the First Ladies, will be a big money raiser for the government, rather like the fifty state quarter program of prior years. Lawmakers also have hopes that the new Presidential dollar coins will spur interest in the Sacagawea dollars which have been little used thus far. The backside of the Presidential coins will feature the Statue of Liberty. Four coins will be issued each year beginning in 2007. The coins will be issued in the order of the President's term in office. The Secretary of the Treasury will oversee coin design.
