Does anyone here have any good ideas about what kind of scene for our currency notes, and Liberty images for our coinage? I like your ideas. How about Iwo Jima on currency? There's already a coin...but it would look great on paper money. (The anniversary of that event was on the news today.) |

And what about a Louisiana Purchase scene on a FRN denomination (I would say the $2 note, because it's a Jeffersonian related thing, or so I was told, but the $2 denomination should be a coin, which would call for a Liberty design  ) Edited by Fox

"Each president on a coin has a constituency," Marks said, "and any effort to take them off goes nowhere quickly."
This is exactly why politicians never should be on coins in the first place. . Putting liberty back on our coins would make one less place for political gridlock to present itself. Lady Liberty served us well until 1947. I'm all for bringing her back on all coins.

UpdateClassic Vs Modern Quote:
It is time for modern versions of Liberty on our coins. http://www.coinworld.com/voices/lou...rty_vs.html#Quote:
It is also interesting that collectors of modern world coins are also very keen on coins that reuse classic designs, so this is in many ways a worldwide trend.

We should bring back Lady Liberty on our coins. After all, they do SAY liberty on them, why not get the full package?

One problem: the average American non-collector would probably reject the liberty themed coins as "foreign" so a massive PSA campaign would be needed and even then...the levels of ignorance in the populace is simply staggering. Given the one-year issuance period would guarantee hoarding and thus failure of the coins. The dead presidents are here to stay probably until the end of ALL coinage.

It would be no worse than any of the other changes we have made recently. Granted that most were one sided, but the 2005 nickels did not cause chaos. A massive PSA campaign? Not really. Fed tells banks, banks tell businesses, business tell customers. News outlets and social media do the rest. |

I have seen plenty of them. However, I rarely see any nickels dated after 2008.  |

Yep, I see them often too. I don't care who says what, nobody is hoarding those ugly nickels. Will it be a waste of money to produce pretty Liberty coins that none-collector people will supposedly hoard? Sure, but so what? They have been wasting our money for decades. I might as well have some new Liberty coins to collect/hoard. With that said, they had better be nice and pretty. I hope so, anyway. Edited by Darth Morgan
