Here's some play arounds. I've designed coins before, these are just quick designs, manipulated images, just to see what things would like.  |

I still like the design X2an has posted. The Mercury was always a beautiful dime and it will still be beautiful clad.

I realize you can't see my design, but it's re-sized to reflect it's value.

Going back to old designs is a bit boring. You like the design, you have the design from a previous age. I think coin design should change to distinguish from ages and eras. I understand that my designs are simple, obviously for the time I put into them. Also very little time spent thinking about what could go on a coin. You want these images that suggest the US but don't alienate people etc. Not easy, unless you go with wreaths and symbols. However there's a British one pound coin for the next few years that is a modernised version of the coat of arms, and it looks quite good.  |

Have no clue where to look to begin to make a facsimilie of a dime, but I will say this much: "No rulers or people ever living should appear on US coinage" This may be paraphrased form Washington's intent, but I fully agree with it so support Lady Liberty returning to dime and all other coinage that isn't commemorative collectible grade coinage. It should be bigger than the nickel so as not to confuse or defraud the blind. While the ridges on the edge were good back in the day of silver coins to know if any of the coin was filed away, nowadays the dime and cent are too close in size you couldn't really tell them apart if you held them both between your fingers and couldn't see them. As you grow older your senses grow worse, so older blind people just can easily get ripped off more by the inept cashiers running amuck in this country. ONE DIME : 10 c don't really care which of those is on it, but keep it the same way as other coins, so unless the quarter changes back to 25c, keep ONE DIME on it. I guess just a simple thing on the opposite side of Lady Liberty, the words "We the People" as written in the Declaration of Independence so that those that are messing up our economy, like FRB, Fortune 500 companies, etc remember whose money it is; the countries, not theirs. |

I wish they would just leave it as it is.
Why does everyone always insist on changing things just for the sake of change?

Because its old and boring. It's human nature to both fear yet crave change

It's not just for the sake of change. It's because Roosevelt has been on the dime longer than the vast majority of people in the country have been alive. How about something inspiring that doesn't involve a dead President.
