coins that though not a governmental issue,
were used. owing to the scarcity of minor
coinage currency, during that Presidents

financial policy of that period. Jackson,
himself. is represented on various coins. On
one he is seated In a bank, under the in
scription: MY policy" The reverse shows
a donkey and the legend: II follow In the
illustrious footsteps of my predecessor" On
another coin there is ship-"The ConstItu-
