...i think he inspired the shower idea.
However, I do think the Wilson portrait is less dull than the others.

them will have been passed. imo
<< <i>I hate that front and 3/4 profiles have become popular in our coinage. >>
Me too. Most of them look like Chuck E. Cheese tokens.
The Franklin half is an artistic masterpiece in comparison.

...well they'd better get it in gear because they'll need to start minting them for the proof sets that should be coming out
