I posted in another thread about the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee's efforts to get liberty on circulating coins again. Here is some new info from their last meeting. Now, they suggest the liberty design every year to no avail so I won't get my hopes up. but it is interesting they are talking about an American Silver Eagle re-design after it was suggested by someone on this board recently :)
Quote: As for circulating commemoratives, the CCAC recommended a redesign of George Washington's image on the obverse of the quarter, according to CCAC Chairman Mitch Sanders.
It would also like to see a five-year program focused on introducing modern Liberty designs on circulating coinage, with one design a year being introduced, Sanders said.
The CCAC also recommended a redesign of the American Eagle silver bullion coin in light of its use for 25 years, Sanders said, with a single artist designing both the obverse and reverse of the coin.
The only change I would like to see with the ASE would be the reverse. Cycle thru all of the Eagle designs from all past circulating coinage and then keep changing the eagle every yr such as the kook or panda, etc...
I like that idea, everyone knows walking lib is silver, statue of liberty is platinum etc.. they should leave a new obverse for a new coin like Palladnium.
