Bill and Hillary. Twice!

Have you seen the new dollar coins that the U.S. Mint has been issuing? Every three months, a new dollar coin is issued that features each of the presidents in order, beginning with Washington. (I think they're up to Madison by now).
Here is Washington and Adams:

The U.S. Mint is also issuing commemorative "First Spouse" dollar coins which coincide with each of the presidential coins.
Here is Martha and Abigail:



Now, this is cool: If Hillary gets elected president, then both Bill and Hillary will each be represented on a presidential and a First Spouse coin.
Might we have those four Clinton dollars jangling in our pockets someday?

    ...and when the school kiddo's learn to recite all of the presidents in order it could include a string that goes "Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton, Clinton." Now if we can only get Jeb to run.

  3. A return to the Clintonian era? sounds spiffy, that's for sure, though my heart belongs to Barack. Can't wait to see how things shake up in the primaries. I'm still thinking how cool it would be if Gore decides to run and chooses either Hillary or Barack as his VP.
