1985/12/17

       Republican (fascist/socialist) President Reagan signs the Gold Bullion Coin Act, authorizing the minting of five, ten, 25 and 50 Dollar denominated gold Coins (lawful Money).

       NOTE: These Coins are intended only for collection, not circulation as their intrinsic value is two to three-hundred times their face value.
