Half Doggie Dollars and Louisiana Purchase $2 Bill RedesignLegislation, oh my!
Figured I'd tweak with you guys again. Love it, or hate it, this is
the legislation I'm going to send to my Congressmen. HALF DOLLAR COIN: Section 1. Short Title This Act may be cited as the "Famous Dogs Half Dollar Coin Act" Sec 2. Design and Issuance of Half Dollar coins, Featuring Famous Dogs of U.S. History (a) Notwithstanding the Authority of the Secretary of the Treasury under the 8th undesignated paragraph of section 16 of the Federal Reserve Act, beginning in 2011 coins in the denomination of 50 cents shall be redesigned to be smaller, in between the size of the quarter dollar, and the 5-cent coin, copper in color, so as not to confuse the new halves with 5-cent coins or quarters, shall have a reeded edge, so as not to be confused with tarnished 1-cent coins, or tarnished $1 coins, and be thicker than all other denominations of U.S. coins and shall be placed into circulation. These half dollar coins shall have features more distinguishable from other current coin denominations, yet thin enough to work in current vending machines. And to save the government money on using less metal, to mint new smaller half dollar coins. (b) The "Famous Dogs Half Dollar Coin Act" shall feature four new obverses of the half dollar coin, honoring four different famous dogs, to honor dogs for serving man kind for thousands of years, and shall honor and feature such fallen dogs as, fire, police, rescue, military and sled dogs who served or lost their lives, serving man kind, with Balto being the first to be honored. (c) The reverse of the new half dollars shall feature three different designs per every three years of the program. The Gray Wolf shall be featured on the reverse of the new half dollars for the first three years. The Coyote shall be featured on the reverse of the second three years' half dollar designs. And the North American Red Fox shall be featured on the half dollar coin's reverse for the last three years' designs. This will help us honor and respect both tame dogs and the wild ancestors that these dogs came from. Sec 3. After the "Famous Dogs" half dollar program ends, the Treasury shall select a permanant new design for the half dollar, while retaining the smaller design, features and weight as the "Famous Dogs" half dollar coins. END I wonder what kind of design they would put on the post-half doggie dollars, and if they'd honor a different person than John F. Kennedy. TWO DOLLAR BILL: Section 1. Short Title This Act may be sited as the "Louisiana Purchase $2 Bill Act" Sec. 2. Redesign and Issuance of a $2 Federal Reserve Note, Featuring a Louisiana Purchase Theme. (a) Notwithstanding the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury under the 8th undesignated paragraph of section 16 of the Federal Reserve Act, beginning January 1, 2010, Federal reserve notes in the denomination of $2 shall be redesigned to feature a Louisiana Purchase theme, and a low-vision numeral on the reverse, an enlarged portrait of President Thomas Jefferson, two watermarks, one of a huge numeral "2" to the right of Jefferson's portrait, and a watermark of the spelling "TWO" to the left of President Jefferson on the new $2 bill, in the same three spots that the three small numeral "5s" appear on the left of President Lincoln's portrait on the new NexGen $5 bills, as opposed to three little numeral "2s" to help people detect a counterfeit $5 bill printed on a bleached $2 bill easier, clusters of little yellow "02s" on the reverse and/or obverse, a tint of bluish green, including an image of a blue scroll on the front of these new $2 bills, as the symbol to represent Liberty in the form of the Declaration of Independence. The low-vision numeral would be the same size as the new $5 bill's huge purple 5, but blue in color. Sec. 3 Return to Monticello Design Louisiana Purchase themed $2 bills shall only be issued for one year, for commemorating the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase. After a one year issuance of new Louisiana Purchase themed $2 bills for a one year, the $2 bill shall revert back to a permanent modern NexGen Monticello $2 bill reverse. These new $2 bills would retain all other designs, security features, and color added to them, including the bluish green scroll representing Liberty in the form of the Declaration of Independence, on the obverse of the new $2 bills. These Monticello design $2 bills, shall be placed into circulation after December 31st 2010. END I might be pressing my luck, wanting two new $2 bill designs released, seeing as the Treasury has told me that the U.S. currency is not redesigned for aesthetic reasons, only to deter counterfeiting. But hey, how many dollar, quarter, 5-cent or 1-cent coins, do you see being counterfeited, and yet, they're redesigning those coin denominations, mostly for aesthetic reasons, so as I have said, I see no reason not to redesign a currency note denomination mainly for aesthetic reasons. These new $2 bills will help more and more people be aware the $2 bills are still being printed, and are not "rare collectibles" and may spend them a bit more, as I have said already. The same goes for the new halves. And so what if people start hoarding the half doggie dollars, and the Louisiana Purchase $2 bills? The government would still be making money off people hoarding these new designs, as they do with people hoarding state quarters and presidential dollar coins, so, what the heck is the difference? If the government actually wants to make money off of people hoarding special, and odd denominations, they should listen to me, and pass these two bills. Especially, the $2 bill legislation, to help dollar coin circulation, by being promoted along side the dollar coins. Let people hoard all the Louisiana $2s and half doggie dollars they want, then they will likely start spending the permanent Monticello $2 bill and post-half doggie dollar coin designs. |

And while many will never even open their sets, others may only take a brief glance to ensure there are no scratches -- ironic, because dogs love to scratch and be scratched. I suppose all this will require an emergency session of Congress, unless you can wait until 2009. |

But I did like the name "Husky Halves" Its fitting, seeing as Balto was at least part Husky, from what I've heard and read. (I should have called the new $2 bills "Twoisiana Bills" LoL) |
