PRESIDENTIAL SPOUSE COINS TO DEBUT NEXT WEEK

The Presidential dollar coins have gotten most of the press coverage
recently, but the First Spouse coins are next in line.  The coins are
scheduled to be released in May 2007.  According to Numismatic News,
"The design of the pure gold 2007 First Spouse coins will be displayed
publicly for the first time at a presentation and reception Tuesday,
Dec. 19, at 10 a.m.

The event will be held at the National First Ladies Library in Canton,
Ohio. The event will be hosted by U.S. Mint Director Edmund C. Moy,
National First Ladies Library Founder Mary Regula, and Dolley Madison
re-enactor Lucinda Frailly."

"Four half-ounce gold First Spouse coins will be minted annually in
the order the spouses served in the White House. The collectible coins
will coincide with the release of the four circulating Presidential $1
coins that will be issued annually."
