But why not? We have different coins for the same
denomination. Some state quarters may be rarer than
others but they all buy exactly 25 cents worth of
stuff at the store. We have Eisenhower dollars,
Anthony dollars, and Sakajawea dollars that all buy
exactly $1 worth of stuff. How is whose face on a
dollar going to affect the "value" of the dollar when
it has not been the case so far? Also Bush just gave
the go ahead to mint a series of dollar coins with all
the dead presidents on them:
