Poll Question
DO you think the mint should change the design on the dime?

Depends on what the change would look like.

Yes, I think it's time. And by new design I only mean one new design from here on out, and not 50 commemorative designs..

I don't think so. Maybe it is just because I am used to the design and like it. I think that if they try to change it they will just ruin it by making a new ugly design. I think they did wrong to the new nickels. and the shield cents are okay. The shield is really cool but I think it looks fake. for me when I see the shield cents they don't look like US currency. I think classic coins had amazing designs. modern coins have decent designs but not as good as classic. and I think newer designs are getting worse. to me it seems like older designs are always better, so I think they should leave the dime the way it is. just preference though. if they could make it look awesome though, then I think it is time to change the dime, I doubt they could do it though.

I think the New Deal is getting old, so I vote yes. The reverse can stay the same for all I care but the obverse has got to go.

 Do away with dead presidents and bring back versions of Liberty! |

I think both sides should go, getting kind of tired of the torch and olive branches.

I agree with bringing back Liberty... sure it's nice to commemorate dead presidents... (Isn't that what they're doing with those stupid dollars anyway?)
Just like Greek and Roman sculpture, the coins with Liberty on them really were something of imagination and an art form. The Liberty coins are extremely beautiful and I very much appreciate them! I wouldn't mind at all if they even brought back Mercury!

I'd like to see something different. I love the Roosevelt dime, but I would love tro see another Lady Liberty coin |

The current dime is actually one of the few moderns designs I like, I would prefer to keep as-is. I'm a big fan of Mr. Roosevelt, and what he did for the free world. I wouldn't mind seeing some more dead guys; I'd vote for a Churchill quarter!

I know there was a push to bring Reagan to the dime, but I am pretty sure that has taken a backseat to everything else going on. While I have no problem with Reagan, I would personally prefer a return to Liberty.

Yep, definately needs a change. A GOOD Liberty design sounds like a winner.

Since Roosevelt extended the Great Depression, I think he should go. We need a Lady Liberty.

Someone voted the third response-who was it?
Please post and educate us, or don't mess up the polls.
Or did I miss you and you already posted it?
