One More Silver Dollar

And I'm not gonna' let 'em catch me, no, not gonna' let 'em catch the midnight rider!

Well, I thought that it would take a little longer before Ronald "McDonald" Reagan got his face on some money, but apparently the National Collector's Mint beat everyone to the punch. They actually have two new collector's coins dedicated to the jelly bean addict. First, the Limited Ed. Ronald Reagan Silver Dollar:



This is the only officially authorized Ronald Reagan commemorative coin and, according to the website from this lousy piece of spam I received:
They said he was just an actor. But he played the role of President like he was born for it. His critics predicted he would wilt under the stress of the world’s toughest job. But he took a would-be assassin’s bullet and kept right on leading the Free World without missing a step. They said he wouldn’t grasp the complexities of the Cold War. So, all he did was win it. He was “the Great Communicator.” Most importantly, President Ronald Reagan inspired our renewed patriotism and love for America.
Okay, so half of that is b.s. There is a strict limit of five on these bad boys, so get yours today. The other collector's coin is a crappy medallion that really isn't worth mentioning. It's not nearly as nice as that painted silver dollar, no sir. I would rather have a Limited Ed. Legal Tender Harry Potter Coin than one of those crappy R.R. medallions anyway. The Harry Potter coin is officially authorized legal tender on the Isle of Man, imagine that. Once again, you can't make this kind of stuff up folks.
