Loading ...You forgot Reagan was a puppet. Re your “Reagan facilitated the production of Gold Eagles.”
No it was Ron Paul.
The American Gold Eagle coin program was created by an act of Congress — the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985 — which was introduced by Representative Ron Paul of Texas.
The coins were first issued by the U.S. Mint in 1986 under this law.
So, in short:
➡️ Creator/Sponsor: Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)
➡️ Authorized by: Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985
➡️ First issued: 1986
