43 Coins in a Fountain

I just ran across the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005. Starting in 2007, once the state quarters have run their course, they're going to start making dollar coins with Presidents on them, four a year until they run out of dead ones to honor.

Personally, I think this sounds pretty good. We need to dump the dollar bill and move to a standard -- and widely used -- dollar coin. And it might make some money, too. (Wikipedia claims that the state quarters netted the government over four billion dollars, since people "buy" the coins, and then collect them.)
