President William Henry Harrison - Dollar Coin
Arizona Coin Collector
In 2009 the United States Mint will issue the Presidential
Dollar coins for Presidents "William Henry Harrison",
"John Tyler", "James K. Polk", and Zachary Taylor.
The 2009 dollar coins, should have the motto "In God
We Trust", moved from the edge to the front.
Every coin release so far has been done in a positive public
Celebration of each President.
I wonder how the U.S. Mint will do President William Henry
Harrison and his accomplishment as president?
William Henry Harrison (February 9, 1773 - April 4, 1841)
Was an American military leader, politician, the ninth
President of the United States, and the first President
To die in office. The oldest President elected until
Ronald Reagan in 1980, Harrison had served barely more
Than a month in office, still the shortest tenure in
United States presidential history, before his death in
April 1841. His death created a brief constitutional
Crisis, but ultimately resolved many questions about
Presidential succession left unanswered by the
Constitution until passage of the 25th Amendment.

The Mint's blurb may be essentially the same as what's here, although
someone will be tasked with digging out another factoid or two to
spiff it up a bit.

election to the presidency. Tippecanoe and Tyler too. He also gave one of
the longest inagural addresses, standing in the rain, which some historians
say caused the illness that became his downfall. A Google search on his
name brings up almost 900,000 entries.

Everyone has history. The original question went to what can be said
about his history while in the office of president, not prior to that.
Lincoln googled nearly 11 million hits. Even Harrison's running mate
and successor John Tyler got nearly 3 million hits.
But fear not, the Mint will come up with enough verbiage to fill the
allotted space.
