"The best tribute to Reagan would be to put his visage on a gold coin, not this fiat crap."
Actually, a very good idea. Sales of such a coin, which wouldn't actually be circulated, could generate a lot of money for the treasury, as well as letting people keep a tangible, and valuable, memento of Reagan's presidency.
Make the coin legal tender, but at a value that would keep the coin from actually circulating in the economy. Interesting idea.
Gold is a tender irrespective of FDR's diktats. :)
