The 1930's New deal(s) were a dead man walking and did nothing for the economic crisis Economists are now saying that his programs actually EXTENDED the depression by seven years. |

Economists are now saying that his programs actually EXTENDED the depression by seven years.  You do have a few economist that say it helped but you have most that say it hurt us even more. I have been sitting here watching the markets over the passed few months and so much of it compares to 1929. Its actually pretty scary. I'm just glad I have my coins  Even though I think the market for their valves is going to drop over the next year but I started in the bullion market and got pulled into the hobby..lol. I just love collecting that even a depression will not stop me!  Maybe the US will go back to putting real metal in our circulated coins  A new Liberty Half dollar! |

Quarter for me. But it is almost a sacred symbol. Though I love the design so much, it might lose some of its nostalgia like the buffalo did recently.. Anyone agree or disagree?

Dollar! Needs to go on a coin that doesn't circulate.

Put her on all of them. Heck...Start putting her on the paper money too.
All the presidents have problems other than maybe Washington and Jefferson. I never hear anything negative about him. The others were not prefect...Liberty is a symbol hard to attack liberty if you are an American.

I voted dime to get rid of FDR. And reading this thread, our new president should read it... because - according to his boring speech last night - he believes FDR did great things and did not prolong the Depression.
To the person that did not think Hitler was a socialist, the Nazi party was the shortened name of ... the National Socialist Part.
anyway, all coinage should be symbolic figures... enough with this glorifying leaders and their politics. Washington was the best we had, and he thought no one should have their face on a coin.

I voted for the half because Liberty is such a beloved figure it may recharge the collecting of halves...and maybe bring about new pride in American coins (the symbol of freedom).

I keep saying to bring back Liberty on the coins. It would be nice to experience 'her' on our coins. Switzerland still does it, why can't we?

1) Reagan should be put on the dime.
2) The half dollar should be used for commemoratives. (As done in the past)
