Comments. Not much to say; this looks very clean to me.

• Can you explain in the article what the basis was for the objection to the Mint's production of the gold coins? Why would a member of Congress feel they had no authority to do this?

Thanks for the comments! I suppose it was because the Mint needs Congressional approval to make any change to a coin's composition. I'll see what I can find on that.-RHM22 (talk) 16:58, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

OK. I'll go ahead and support, but I think that would be an interesting bit of information for the reader if you can find something. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:06, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

• I suggest adding an image of the pre-redesign obverse (with the date) to the gallery -- I think that's the only coin design currently not represented in the article.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that would be allowed. The obverse design (both the 2000–2008 and 2009–present) are copyrighted. The one in the infobox is being used under a claim of fair use.-RHM22 (talk) 16:58, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

The FAC is closed, so I wanted to post this here instead of on the review page. I fixed the paraphrasing you suggested. Thanks for pointing those out! I had a difficult time rewording some of the statements enough, and your suggestions were perfect.-RHM22 (talk) 17:45, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

By the way, I'm still trying to find out exactly why the Mint wasn't allowed to change the composition without Congressional approval. I'm certain that it's in some legislation somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it yet. As soon as I do, I'll add it to the article.-RHM22 (talk) 17:46, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
