Public races to get dollars by deadline: the rush to get them at Face Value may predict our next president.


Citizens across the nation are jamming National Hot Line phones in an effort to get the new Campaign Dollars for their favorite candidate.

So far, George George, river, c.345 mi (560 km) long, rising in a lake on the Quebec-Labrador boundary, E Canada. It flows N through Indian Lake (125 sq mi/324 sq km) to Ungava Bay (an arm of Hudson Strait).  W. Bush is ahead in the first round of a very tight race to get the special Dollar Bills.

And right now, they are the hottest items around.

They are the 2004 Presidential Campaign Dollar Bills, featuring candidates George W. Bush and John F. Kerry Kerry, county (1991 pop. 121,894), 1,815 sq mi (4,701 sq km), SW Republic of Ireland. The county town is Tralee. Kerry consists of a series of mountainous peninsulas that extend into the Atlantic. . And everyone is trying to get their hands on one.

The highly collectible collectible

An asset of limited supply that is sought for a variety of reasons including, it is hoped, an increase in value. Stamps, antiques, coins, and works of art are among the many things usually classified as collectibles.
 2004 Campaign Dollars are made with genuine U.S. legal tender Bills. A detailed custom portrait of the candidate is applied by the Monetary Exchange to create this campaign collectible. "So, anyone who spends these special historic treasures would be foolish," explains John T. White, Executive Director of the U.S. Monetary Exchange. "The potential historic value of these collector's items collector's item

 could be so much more."

At first, it looked like those who missed the first Public Offering would be left out. That's because all the Bills in the U. S. Monetary Exchange's first release sold out almost immediately.

But, it has been confirmed that a controlled second release is being issued to the general public, and we will tell you how you can get yours.

 had saved a Teddy Roosevelt campaign button, it could now list for up to $3,000.00.

"It's no wonder people are trying to get these popular Bills when you look at the current market for historic treasures from past elections. A vintage Presidential Currency collection recently listed for $5,750.00 on a popular online auction, and a Ronald Reagan Inaugural Medallion was listed at $3,295.00," White said.

The smartest collectors are setting aside their political preferences to get the Bills for both candidates, so they can have the complete Presidential Election set for 2004.

"Complete collections are always the most desirable. Just imagine how much more a matched set of 1860 Lincoln-Douglas campaign posters would be worth today."

A newspaper with the famous 'Dewey Wins' headline from the 1948 campaign is now worth up to $800.00," said White. "Most everyone wants a complete set with both candidates, and they want extras to give as gifts to the children and grandchildren."

To discourage hoarding, dealers must submit requests in writing for 10 or more banded packs of 5 Bills. But, the general public can get what they need by calling the National Direct Hotline 1. (company) Hotline - Hotline Communications Ltd..
