Abraham Lincoln $1 coin

147 years after the Gettysburg Address was delivered, the United States Mint introduces the dollar coin with Abraham Lincoln's face on it. There will be a ceremony at 10 a.m. on November 18th at Lincoln's cottage in Washington D.C. The coins can be purchased at every bank after the ceremony.

I think this is amazing, especially because they are doing it on the anniversary of the delivery of the Gettysburg address. Four $1 coins will be released every year in the order of our president's service.

I guess if we are going to continue to print more and more money and continue to steadily increase inflation over the long run, we might as well be creative about it.
