Is Mint snubbing real 1st president?
Klos, a Florida resident, has filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and threatened to file for an injunction to stop the further distribution of the U.S. Mint's presidential coins, unless the Mint acknowledges the 10 men who served as president of the United States before Washington.
Klos' FTC complaint charges the Mint with propagating myths as history. He said he is not looking to stop the use of the coins, or even to get coins for the men who have been slighted; he just wants this nation to acknowledge its past.
The controversy arose because the Mint and Congress decided to honor the presidents who have served the nation under its second Constitution, ratified in 1788. (That's the one that starts, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union&")
