$10,000 Clinton Banknote Trial

William Jefferson Clinton seemed destined for political greatness. After meeting President John F. Kennedy, a young Bill dedicated his life to politics. He had served five terms as Governor of Arkansas before turning his attention to the Presidency. Considered a long shot, the 47 year-old Clinton forever changed how political campaigns are run and, in 1992, won the first of two terms in office. During his Presidency, America experienced tremendous economic growth with the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, reduced welfare rolls and, for the first time since 1969, a federal budget surplus. When he left office in 2001, his job approval rating of 68% was higher than that of any other departing President since polling began more than 70 years earlier. Available exclusively from American Mint, this .999 pure silver-plated coin features a full-color representation of what the ten-thousand-dollarbanknote would look like if Congress were to reissue it in honor of President Clinton.
