  Odds of that? About zero. I'm convinced that the mint is incapable of producing anything remotely fitting for our money.

  Don't see it as long as the individual states get into pissing matches with those wanting to change it. Virginia has pretty much locked in the nickel for life and I'm guessing Illinois will fight tooth and nail for the penny. I hate politics

  All new coin designs in the future must be politically correct like the SBA and Sacajawea dollars. I see no place for a Liberty head coin in our future. Very sad.

  I think these days we need one more than ever. Lady Liberty needs to grace a coin soon.

  although we'd all like to see a design reminiscent of the past, that's really just a romantic daydream. the truth is that coinage designs by nature should fit in with the age during which they're struck. certainly none of the Founding Fathers would ever have considered a design harkening back to Roman times or even the Middle Ages for those very same reasons. such is our current predicament. stop torturing yourself with coinage designs which will never be and accept that time moves on.
