Maybe they should recall it because of the obverse!

Thanks for the link- I looked on Snopes but must have missed that one! I'm still laughing about this. My boss's wife insists that she was told by someone who works at a major national chain of banks (we'll call them Walls Furgo to protect the ignorant) that this was legit, and she's still looking for Buff nickels. The boss tried to convince me again today that I should be returning our nickels too. Sheesh...  Rachel [:p] |

Rachael, put him in touch with me. I am certain a person of his stature would be very interested in my offering: mid-19th century, single span, 90% original (only parts of the roof were replaced during the restoration process), painted bright red as befits a classic covered bridge. Shipped disassembled, reassembly directions included. No charge for delivery. Satisfaction guaranteed. Seven-day return no-reasons-asked policy. PayPal only, no credit cards. May be seen at: http://newtownsq.home.att.net/image...d-Bridge.jpgFred |

Tell him it is being recalled due to the SKELETONS in Jefferson closet that are now coming out. The buffalo is innocent!

I'm with you on this one Steve, but I'll have to admit that I did notice things on this coin that I haven't noticed on other coins. Let me explain, I was looking for Terry and his hunting party, and knew I would really have to search. Finally found him dressed as a sunflower and not in his loin cloth as expected. |

Old DAN, It was the Kansas horizon! I think the mint messed up when they took that amazing portrait of the Buffalo, the sunflower and me so apparently I am behind one of the buffalos legs. Darn the luck!

Maybe we're missing out on an opportunity here. For those who insist that the 2005 Buffalo nickel is being recalled and can't be convinced otherwise, we oughtta tell them the mint is offering seven cents for each returned nickel, but that if they give us six cents for each nickel we collect, then s/he can be the one to turn them in and collect the extra cent. Let's see, 500,000 nickels sold for a cent's profit each to the sukka... (Come to think about it, maybe that's why the truck with all those nickels was hijacked.) |

Now there's a great idea. Gonna try that one on the boss tomorrow. I'll tell him that if he pays me 7 cents for each Buffalo I find (on top of the usual hourly wage) I'll gladly search through the coins! We'll see how that one goes over!  Rachel [:p] |

Kyra! They pay you to search through your customers coinage! Darn the luck! I figured you just went in to socialize with all the banks customers? They really pay you huh? Guess I never made the connection! (You being the Queen and all)

I have one of those Cook Island dollars (the one that makes the Queen blush) and have a nickel or two as well. Nothing wrong with a culture that is NOT afraid to share its beliefs with the rest of the world. Like it or not, we all came into this world nude, and I must assume most folks know what the human body, both male and female, look like. This is just another case of the self appointed, self righteous trying to dictate what the rest of us should think or feel. Kind of like the TV, if you don't like the program, change the channel and leave my preferences alone! Feel free to post any type of legal coin or currency at any time. If it offends anyone they don't have to open up this post again. At one time I actually was looking for NUDE coins as a side collection but the competition was so great I couldn't afford the really GOOD ones!!!
