...with the beautiful image of liberty with great eagle reverses like years gone by? instead of all the dead
presidents? it happens with bullion coins, but why not with circulated coinage? in fact even those are just
copied designs from yesteryear!

<< <i>Modern U.S. coinage design is pathetic. There is no art at all ..... The closest modern circulating coin with art is the Sacagawea. >>
It's not only the designs that suck but the fact they have been made irrelevent
by inflation. The largest coin won't buy anything at all any longer. When I was
a boy the largest coin would buy breakfast and a newspaper. You used to be
able to avoid going for your wallet in crowds and the germs of dozens of people
who used a rag buck before you. So we advertise where we keep our money and
exchange germs.
Since the coins are worthless they tend to build up in our pockets and weight
us down. Then every few months we have to cart them off to the bank and trade
them for real money.
YES YES YES YES.......................Get rid of this modern dead predident crap AND their crappy spouse crap ALSO!!!!!!!!
YES YES YES.......Bring back MISS LIBERTY and the EAGLE...........Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!
...we need to have a LONG chat with moy and timmy g. and whoever else (congress?) to demand a CHANGE!!
THAT'S the kind of change we need!
<< <i>Totally agree. Out with DPs. BUT, I'd like to open some competition to the many gifted artists who are out there today. I personally only know of Daniel Carr, but believe there must be other interested artists who could come up with new designs that would knock our socks off--if we could keep politics out of the game. >>
...the problem is there are TOO TOO many agencies to satisfy with the designs. they escape me at the moment
but RWB certainly knows the ones. i'm having a 'senior moment' on my thought processing.

Rather than make belittling comments about people who cannot do what you want, why not find a piece of paper, envelope, pen and stamp and write to your members of Congress?
...good idea, roger but i don't think they would give it much eyeballing with all the 'emergencies' going on
all at once now.
"Mission and Purpose of the CCAC
The CCAC was established in 2003 by Congress under Public Law 108-15 to advise the Secretary of the Treasury on the themes and designs of all US coins and medals. The CCAC serves as an informed, experienced and impartial resource to the Secretary of the Treasury and represents the interests of American citizens and collectors."
<< <i>Congress has largely subsumed the historic role of the Mint Director and Secretary of Treasury in circulating coinage designs. If Congress can be convinced to revert to the Coinage Law of 1890, there is hope.

Might want to wait till November so you don't have to do it twice.
