U. S. Mint coins honoring the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11.

"The U.S. House of Representatives on Monday voted unanimously to pass the "Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act," calling for the Mint to produce curved coins in gold, silver and clad to recognize the five decades since astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins launched on the first lunar landing mission."

 

Will they say "Speedmaster" or "Approved as currency to buy the only watch on the Moon"?

 

Speaking of coins I really wish the mint would make this (Palladium Saint Gaudens):

I would hardly call "modern commemoratives" part of numismatics, but they're somewhat related

 

who are qualified to buy this coins.

did it say in the bill only those who currently owned a speedy?

 

Good to see your elected representatives focusing on the important issues!

 

Dont forget our Russian Comrades

 

At least they finally agreed enough to pass something, not just gas.
