UNITED STATES MINT INVITES PUBLIC TO 2005 NATIONAL NICKEL EXCHANGE IN WASHINGTON
What: The nation’s new 2005 nickels with a bold, contemporary image of President Thomas Jefferson on the front and an American bison on the back go into circulation Monday, February 28. Millions of new nickels that look significantly different from the nation’s previous 5-cent coins will be heading to the nation’s Federal Reserve Banks. Americans will start receiving the new nickels in their change a few weeks later.
TUESDAY MARCH 1, the United States Mint will offer the public its first opportunity to obtain the 2005 American Bison nickel. The National Nickel Exchange will begin on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. with a ceremonial presentation of the new nickel to the American people. The ceremony will feature a real American bison and an American Indian performance honoring the event. The National Nickel Exchange will continue inside Union Station, Washington D.C. with a public exchange of bills and coins for $2 rolls of shiny, new American Bison nickels. There will be $100,000 in American Bison nickels available for the National Nickel Exchange.
The American Bison nickel is the third design in the United States Mint’s Westward Journey Nickel Series™, which began with the Peace Medal nickel, followed by the Keelboat nickel, in 2004. The Ocean in View nickel, a fourth design, will be released later in 2005. A law passed by Congress and approved by President Bush in April 2003 authorized the redesign of the nation’s 5-cent coin for the first time since 1938 to commemorate the bicentennials of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Starting February 28, 2005 Americans may order bags and rolls of American Bison nickels online at www.usmint.gov.

They should do it in all state capitals (would still be a 2 hour drive+ for me) or major city. Just my whine for the day.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

By the way, that sounded like a good Merlot!
