7. The REAL reason they are doing this
is to put Ronald Reagan's evil face on Official US Currency.

Many DUers would consider this unwise in that there are only two denominations of currency suitable for embossing the Gipper's face upon. Unfortunately, the Treasury seems less than eager to issue either the Three Dollar Bill or the Plugged Nickel. So the Rotating President Dollar Coin it is.

By putting that worthless asshole on the new dollar coin along with all the other deceased presidents, it protects the dime, it shuts up the three people who still belong to the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, and--because freepers will collect all the Reagan dollars and hang them, in mahogany frames, on the walls of the vans they live in down by the river--we'll never actually have to see this coin. So it's a winner all around.
