Michael Castle, “The Coinage Congressman”. was a two-term Governor of Delaware and near twenty-year member of the US House of Representatives. While in Congress  Mike Castle introduced legislation that authorized a number of important and popular modern U.S. coins. Most notably The American Platinum Eagle series, the first $100 on a U.S. coin, the $50 Gold Buffalo, the first U.S. 24 karat gold coin, the 50 State Quarters program, the most successful coin series in history, the America the Beautiful Quarters Program, this act called for the creation of a five-ounce silver bullion coin, the largest silver coin ever created by the US Mint. Castle also drafted and sponsored the legislation that limited the number of new commemorative coins  to two per year. This limit was designed to focus the series and build collector interest. This legislation included the 2006 silver dollars that honored Benjamin Franklin, an ancestor of Castle's.
