Looks like we’re Morgan and Peace Dollars are making a comeback.

We have one man to thank for the creation of the nickel.

“Speak softly and carry a big stick. And make sure you have beautiful-looking coins in your pocket.”

Why did we once have a 20-cent piece? We can thank one U.S. Senator for that.

As the 1980s began, commemorative coins were deader than disco, Francisco Franco and The Eagles. But then George Washington’s 250th birthday changed everything.

One thing I’ve learned is that federal politicians have a lot of power when it comes to coinage. Case in point: Sen. Jim McClure.

“Nixon in New York” will be released on paperback in the fall. As such, here’s a post about my Richard Nixon coin.

Truly popular designs never really go away – politicians and Treasury officials will always figure out ways to recycle them. 

When we think powerful Senate Majority Leaders, it’s usually Lyndon Johnson, Robert Taft, Mitch McConnell or Harry Reid. Why not Joe Robinson?

How the Susan B. Anthony Dollar became the New Coke of coins.
