Quote: I thought with a new Secretary of the Treasury that they could void the Tubman $10 bill? They've already backtracked on that. As of April 2016, Tubman is slated to be on the $20, not the $10. But there's still time to change that direction because it's going to happen until 2020, I believe.

The new series will be dated 2017 and look for the first issuance to be $1 bills sometime this Summer.
(At least that is how it has worked in the past when we "drain the swamp" and then fill it back up again!)

Whatever changes are made to US coin and currency, they will be TREMENDOUS. President Trump knows more about coins and currency than even the engravers!

I collect modern coins too, but even if I didn't, I like some nice variety in my coinage. The mint can and does make nice coins, even if some recent ones have been disappointing.

Apologize for my comments about the collector appeal of modern issues. Totally thoughtless.

I personally have no real issue with circulating coins, whatever the design. They are real circulating "coin of the realm" and can purchase anything our consumer society produces. Granted they are close to worthless from an intrinsic perspective but so is paper. I look at them as something to use; the collecting value is secondary.
Much better than NCLT that may be of precious metal but cannot be spent in most cases without a big loss.

Why can't our useful items have artistic merit? It's been proven repeatedly it can be done, and it certainly never hurt. I keep the nicest modern coins I can find, but I wish often the designs were not so endless and boring.Personally I find the US nickel and dime to be the worst offenders, along with the front of the quarter. Also, Coinfrog, it's all good.

I heard they'll introduce the new 2016 dollar bill pretty soon.

Actually, if he does what both JFK and Reagan did (despite media lies about Reagan - these two men's economic polices were the same - watch their speeches about it), we should be in for good times again. But... it's only history, and the media sure hates that.
