Nation to Get Newly Designed Nickels
United States Mint Director: "We are in a renaissance of coin design."
WASHINGTON – The nickel will soon have a new look. President Bush has signed an historic bill that authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to change the designs of 5-cent coins issued in 2003, 2004 and 2005 in recognition of the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition. The design of the nickel has remained unchanged since 1938. In 2006, the nickel will return to a depiction of President Thomas Jefferson on the “heads” side and an image of Jefferson’s home, Monticello, on the “tails” side.

I did read that its possible that we won`t see the new nickel until early `04.
I guess then the `04s won`t come out until `05 and the `05s won`t come out until.....etc..
Who knows with the Mint.
