A spokesperson for the U.S. Mint announced that a new
fifty-cent piece was being issued to honor two great
American patriots.

On one side of the coin would be Teddy Roosevelt and on
the other side, Nathan Hale.

Asked why two people were going to be on the same coin,
the spokesman replied, "Now, when you toss a coin you can
simply call.... 'Ted's or Hale's'."
