Ted Allan Paterson (1978- )

About This Set: Birth year Mint Set for my only son. I am extremely fortunate to have Ted for a son. I know I don't deserve him, but I thank Heavenly Father daily for sending me such a choice spirit. He has exceeded all expectations and contiues to impress with the path he has chosen in his life. Ted served a mission for the LDS Church (1997-1999) in the Canary Islands, married Amber Martin in the Portland, Oregon Temple, went to the University of Nebraska to get his PhD. in business and is helping raise their four wonderful children; Kara, Dylan, Trevor, and Brooklyn.

1978 would mark the end of the road for the Eisenhower dollar. The public rejected it as too large for a circulating coin, and most found their way to Nevada where they found use in the casinos.
