The nation’s first president, George Washington, was honored with a similar coin in February. A coin honoring second president John Adams appeared in May. And one honoring fourth president James Madison will follow in November. Congress created the program in the Presidential Dollar Coin Act of 2005. it calls for the secretary of the treasury to design and produce presidential dollar coins honoring each president in the order in which they served. Four coins will be released each year. ks5u The coins show the president and his years in office on one side. The other side shows the Statue of Liberty. The presidential coins are the same size and color and have an educational value. They can teach the American public about past presidents.

Today, farmers can earn money with high-powered wind turbines (发电机) that produce electricity. Wind power has become big business, especially in Europe. In the United States, less than one percent of electricity is produced from wind energy. But production increased one hundred sixty percent between 2000 and 2005. So says Keith Collins, the chief economist at the Department of Agriculture, in a statement he prepared for a Senate committee last month. An even greater increase is expected between 2005and 2010. Farmers are providing land to turbine owners or, in some cases, owing the equipment themselves. (责任编辑：admin) |
