wandering Valued Member Canada 161 Posts	Posted 02/16/2015 6:01 pm Well it's big, however the previous '4' in 2014 and '3' in 2013 were also this big. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 02/16/2015 6:15 pm I expected the last number to be huge too for new nickels. I wonder why they make the date big for nickels (which is already clearly visible), not dimes. Put the "20" on the left and the two last numbers on the right so that people don't have to squint at them to see the date. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 02/16/2015 7:05 pm slur exe that is a great idea, they should have done that years ago. As to the five ..........huge, looks sort of old fashioned I like it. Edited by Pacificoin 02/16/2015 7:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
wazzappenning Valued Member Canada 329 Posts	Posted 02/16/2015 10:11 pm was going to say, I thought the 3 was like that too. slur... good idea, but why dont we just ditch the 20 and do it the way we did in the 1980s, or 80s. at least a hundred years till we have to worry about it again, but will we still have coins by then anyways?

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 01:02 am I can think up some reasons why not to ditch the 20. Okay, some are pretty silly, but it's still logical (according to my logic anyway). "Spaghetti Hair" queen VICK? The entire font for the date was changed from a sans-serif font to a serif font in 2009. I've been told by my last ICT teacher that serif fonts are easier to read. Maybe this is the reason?
