I agree that a return to silver coinage is not practical. I also agree that if Liberty Coinage (like that proposed in the quoted article) were introduced it should be instead of current designs and not alongside it.

The State Quarters were a great idea but it is time to move on and away from politicians on coins. The guys that are on them wouldn't want to be if they had a choice and the guy most often proposed for one wouldn't either.

I'm not really concerned with the metallic content but rather the designs is what I am concerned about. I guess having the same presidents on them for decades is just uninspiring and having multiple reverses is just annoying. The front facing portrait of Jefferson on the nickel is hideous. Monticello is BORING. Would have rather had the bison reverse as the 2005 Westward Journey nickel.
