Is Marilyn Monroe's image being tarnished? Representatives of her estate think so. They viewed a nude likeness of the star--taken from an early, famous calendar--on a commemorative gold coin produced by the prestigious French Mint and moved to block sales of the coin. They like it not. The blond actress is still No. 1 with fans in France, and her face and form can be seen in ads, on beach towels and even wine bottles. Since her death in 1962, international licensing deals have brought in more money than Monroe earned during all her years in Hollywood.
