13. S. 1047 - Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005: Calls for a series of dollar coins in which the coin?s face would change four times a year, displaying images of the presidents in the order they served. The reverse would feature an image of the Statue of Liberty. The legislation would also create a new pure-gold bullion coin for investors that features the images of the First Spouses and is issued in sequence with the presidential dollars. Fitting with the educational theme of the dollar coin, the program makes provisions for issuing two spouse bullion coins each for the two presidents who remarried while in office and for using the image of Liberty on the face of the coins of presidents who had no spouse while in office. The bill also incorporates as a separate title the text of H.R. 767, the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial 1-Cent Coin Redesign Act, which was introduced on behalf of the entire Illinois delegation. H.R. 767 seeks to honor the 200th anniversary of the birth of President Abraham Lincoln in 2009 by redesigning the reverse of the one-cent coin four times during that year in ways that would honor different periods in his life. The redesign is modeled on the 'Westward Journey' redesign of the five-cent coin that will end this year. Finally, the bill establishes a one-ounce pure-gold bullion coin for investors that will bear the image of the old 'buffalo' nickel. The United States currently has a very successful program issuing 91-percent-pure investor grade coins but unlike China, Canada and a handful of other countries does not issue a pure-gold investment-grade coin.

15.

16.
