GIVE US THE EAGLE! I just know the whimpy, wishy-washy wussies rejected it because it looks to aggressive. It's a symbol of strength and the USA is strong! We need it to remind all those countries we saved just who we are.

Officially the worst US coin design...even worse than the new Jefferson obverse.

If this were 1861, I would actually kind of like it. It just does not make much sense to have it there now.

Maybe this is their attempt to get people to hate the cent more than they already do so there will be such an outcry they can just quit making them altogether. I know, I know, conspiracy theory(hey,I was a big X-files fan ,what do you expect)?

 looking around the forum and also the one cent trade on ebay its difficult to view the cent as disliked or disregarded.Im surprised and perplexed at how much time effort and money goes into collecting these..might even do a set meself..mebbes |

Collectors LOVE the cent because it is inexpensive to collect relative to higher denomination coins. The public, however, HATES the cent, just look at how many you find on the ground. I know people who won't even take them in change. Numismatists are probably the biggest reason we still have the cent being produced. It is not cost effective and the handling adds to the cost so there are many folks who would love to see the cent disappear.

I'm not a fan. I think it's unimaginative. Look at 19th century coins - they are much more artistic than this. I certainly won't be lining up online to buy rolls of this.

Well this design will surely get rid of the cent, it will be discontinued shortly after this design is released, I must say the worst design on US coinage. even worse that the 2006 Jefferson Portrait on the Nickel!  |
