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)
