No YOU missed the point. They do have coins in addition to the medals. They have 1/2 troy ounce $10 gold coins. These are LEGAL TENDER. You can circulate them if you wish, though that would be foolish considering their intrinsic value is much higher than their face.

No requirement of circulating OR real women there.
As for "which presidential wife was the first known descendant of the King of England," who cares? Ones pedigree pales in comparison to what they accomplished as chief executive or first lady.
