Description: Celebrate the life of one of America's most beloved First Ladies! Barbara Bush is featured on a genuine colorized U.S. $2 bills that were issued by the U.S. Treasury and which are U.S. legal tender. Each colorized coin and $2 bill is a true piece of history that will serve as a homage to First Lady and First Mother for generations to come. Like all such items, they will not be around for long and will surely become even more prized in future years. The colorizing is the highest quality in the world and is accomplished through a revolutionary, patented technique. The colors are life-like. This coin is not available from the U.S. Mint. They are genuine Half Dollars that are struck by the U.S. Mint, but the Mint does not have the capacity to colorize coins. Barbara Bush was the woman behind two United States Presidents. Only the second woman in American history to have had a husband and a son elected President (Abigail Adams was the first), Bush was seen as a plainspoken public figure who was instantly recognizable with her signature white hair and pearl necklaces and earrings. She became a major political figure as her husband, George H.W. Bush, rose to become vice president and president. As first lady, her principal persona was a devoted wife and mother who promoted women's rights and literacy as a cause; raising awareness and eventually launching the nonprofit Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy. In 2001, when George W. Bush took office, Barbara Bush became the only woman in American history to live to see her husband and son elected president. A published author, she was born in New York in 1925, she married in January 1945 and was the mother of six children -- one of whom, a daughter, Robin, died as a child from leukemia. She was awarded an honorary degree in 1989 from Smith College. Before her death she published a note in the spring edition of Smith College's alumnae magazine, where she declared: 'I am still old and still in love with the man I married 72 years ago.'
