In an election year, presidential words of wisdom often get drowned out by talking points
and mudslinging. The American Numismatic Association’s new online Presidential Quiz cuts
through the pandering and pork to deliver money-related quotes with the presidential seal
of approval.

The quiz will launch at www.money.org on Feb. 11, a week before President’s Day. Everyone
who completes the quiz will be eligible to win numismatic prizes.

Embarking on their political journey, quiz-takers must match each quote with one of the 38
commanders-in-chief to be featured in the Presidential $1 Coin Program. The quiz offers two
lifelines for anyone stumped by the choices: The “Need a hint?” line under each question
reveals the state quarter of the correct president’s birthplace, and the Presidential
Biographies offer additional clues. The quiz may be tricky at times but as Albert Einstein
once said, “Politics is more difficult than physics.”

Everyone who completes the quiz will be entered into a monthly drawing for a free, oneyear
ANA membership, courtesy of ANA Life Member Joel Rettew. Anyone who scores more
than 20 points will receive an uncirculated Presidential Dollar with any order from the
MoneyMarket catalog. Top scorers, with more than 30 points, will be entered to win one of
10 Presidential Proof Sets; names will be drawn at the World’s Fair of Money®, July 30-Aug. 3
in Baltimore.

The Presidential $1 Coin Program issues four coins per year featuring U.S. Presidents in
chronological order by term in office. The series will end once all eligible presidents have
been honored. At present, it is expected to end with Ronald Reagan’s coin in 2016.
The American Numismatic Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating
and encouraging people to study and collect money and related items. The ANA helps its
32,000 members and the public discover and explore the world of money through its vast
