    I know, for a dollar size coin, we could have a portrait of Bill Clinton standind [with monica kneeling] and the reverse would feature a cigar.

    The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.

    None.

    We have beat this to death. We need to return to the days of great coin making prior to the days that Presidents were placed on all of the coins.

    I would also vote for a Millard Fillmore dollar, the 13th President, and the last of the Whig party.

    John Adams
    Teddy Roosevelt
    Andrew Jackson
    Woodrow Wilson
    US Grant

    To name a few

    In my Opinion, the dollar coin should be reserved for any depiction of Miss Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse.

    Presidents are getting boring on coins. I think the mint should put out a commemorative coin of Madonna..... maybe have Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera on there too.......imageimage

    Andrew Jackson was a criminal and should be removed from the $20 much less be given a coin. I vote for James Madison and then Teddy Roosevelt.

    Well, the last two new coins have non-presidents on them so perhaps it's a
    trend. It would be nice to see modern designs even if we have to have real
    people on the coins.

    It would be nice to have usable coins even if we have to keep the old designs.

    It would be ideal to completely update the currency system (even if large bills
    are out) and get vibrant new designs without any real people on them.

    I,d like to see a $5 coin for circulation. Maybe a $10 coin as well. But they,d have to have Liberty on them.
