The Changing Landscape of PTSD and a Plan for New Coins

Today's show looks at how soldiers returning from Iraq are being treated for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Their numbers are up, and the type of care they get depends on whether they're active duty personnel or National Guard soldiers. We'll talk with Dr. Andrew Pomerantz, the head of medical services at the VA Medical Center in White River Junction, Vermont.

We'll also talk about presidential dollar coins that, if President Bush signs Senator John Sununu's bill, could come into general circulation in 2007. Dave Bowers has been a serious coin collector for most of his life; he's with American Numismatic Rarities in Wolfeboro and will give us the long and short of what it takes to introduce coins into our pockets and cash registers.
