On the recordNovember 9, 1997

There is a provision in the amended version of S. 1228 that I feel needs clarification. In setting the design parameters for the new dollar coin, the legislation makes clear that the coin should be golden in color, have a distinctive edge, and include other features to ensure that the coin is not confused with any existing coins. The last design parameter within the legislation states that the coin should have anticounterfeiting properties of coinage in circulation at the time of the bill's enactment. I ask the Senator, is this provision intended to require the Mint to use clad coin technology in the new dollar coin?
