Where is he?? The US mint was supposed to start in Jan '10. I am so tired of Zachary Taylor.

Apparently he was the 13th POTUS. Never heard of him myself.

My guess is that he is supposed to be printed on the new US notes or something, but that the mint has not started printing them yet, or just GD hasn't seen any yet (check your nearest capitalist fatcat!).

If that is the case, this thread should possibly be closed for being completely pointless.

LOL look what I just found...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_Nothing

The Know Nothing movement was a nativist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nativist) American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) political movement of the 1840s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1840s) and 1850s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1850s). It was empowered by popular fears that the country was being overwhelmed by German and Irish Catholic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Catholic) immigrants (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigrant), who were often regarded as hostile to U.S. values and controlled by the Pope (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope) in Rome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome).

Hypocrisy much? Apparently POTUS13 was a member of this movement.

Yea, the Know-Nothings were a big movement before the Civil War. Republicans and Democrats took full advantage of it.
