It is not true that the Philippine commemoratives are the only US coins to show live persons at the time of their mintage. Calvin Coolidge appeared on a commemorative gold coin in 1896 while he was still alive and still president. Two senators, Joseph Robinson & Carter Glass, appeared on two different commemorative halves. More recently, Eunice Kennedy Shriver appeared on a 1995 commemorative gold coin, the only living woman to appear on US coins, and the only person to appear on a coin that's still alive at this time.

[edit] Contradiction

  1. Since May 2006, the Bangko Sentral issued P1 Peso Coins in nickel-covered steel dating 2004-Present.
  2. (in the table) 65% copper 35% zinc ... 2004

nickel, steel, copper, and zinc are all different things. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 19:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Correction to original talk post -

Calvin Coolidge, US President from 1923-1929, couldn't possibly have appeared on a "US gold commemorative in 1896 while he was still president." He was only 24 at that time, and apprenticing at a law firm in Massachusetts....in other words, an unknown.

The first US gold commem was issued in 1903.

You know, it's REALLY not hard to check these facts. A couple of clicks on the 'net, and you're good to go. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.135.226.80 (talk) 23:43, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2-peso coin

I remember there being a 2-peso coin, having a tree on its reverse. Does anyone know if it is still legal tender or at least have information about it?

Decagon(?) is no longer legal tender. But I think banks are willing to change them to the coins used now. --Howard the Duck 16:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
