PRESIDENTS WHO ALMOST VISITED THE MINT

Doug Andrews writes: "History records that President Bill
Clinton's planned trip to the Philadelphia Mint was suddenly
cancelled.

It seems he was supposed to officiate at the first striking
of the Monica Lewinsky commemorative double eagle. His visit
was cancelled when it was discovered that the ceremonial
gold-plated planchet had a stain on the obverse."
