each coin may stretch completely to the rim of

SEC. 5. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS. 
It is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the American tradition of not issuing a coin 
with the image of a living person has served the 
country well and deserves to be continued as a gen-
eral practice;
(2) the full circulation potential and cost-sav-
ings benefit projections for the presidential $1 coin 
program are not likely to be achieved unless barriers 
to the circulation of such coins are removed; and 
(3) in connection with the introduction of the 
$1 coins under the presidential $1 coin program—
(A) the coins should not be introduced 
with an expensive taxpayer-funded public rela-
tions campaign, including the use of the tax-
payer-funded United States Mint Public Enter-
prise Fund; and 
(B) the Director of the United States 
Mint, a bureau in the Department of the Treas-
ury, should—
(i) work with consumer groups, media 
outlets, and schools to ensure an adequate 
amount of news coverage about the start of 
the coin program so consumers will know 
of the availability of the coins; and 
(ii) work closely with merchants who 
will use the coins, vending machine and 
other coin acceptor manufacturers, vending 
machine operators, transit officials, and 
municipal parking officials, as well as with 
the Board of Governors of the Federal Re-
serve System and the various banking and 
business associations, to ensure that—
(I) adequate numbers of vending 
machines and coin accepting equip-
ment will accept the coin, and are la-
beled as such; 
(II) cash register drawers are 
ready to accept the coins; and 
(III) the contractors who handle 
recirculation of coins for the Board of 
Governors of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tem have machinery available to de-
liver and recycle the coins in pack-
aging that is useful to businesses, in-
cluding rolled coins.
