Too late!

I guess my letter to my representative wasn't sent in time. Today, Coin News reported that the house passed the National Parks Quarter Bill today in a unanimous vote, 419-0.

I shouldn't be as frustrated as I am but I can't help myself. Edmund Moy's promise to bring about a new renaissance in US coins is off to an inauspicious start. For all that talk we have a reuse of St. Gauden's double eagle design. For the record, I love the design and it will make a fine coin. However, the Presidential Dollars, as noted almost a year ago, have almost no artistic merit.

Some may say that its not a done deal but a Senate version already exists and if it passed the House with so much support, it is highly probable that the Senate version will as well.

But to prevent that, I did send a letter to my senator in a small attempt to bring some sense into this world.

I would encourage all those who feel the same way to write letters to your representatives and senators!
