American Eagle Palladium Bullion Coin

I heard about it but don't expect to see any issued until next year.

I don't think we are scheduled to see them until 2012. Both faces are to be reuses of previous designs. Too bad the mint hasn't got the guts to tell congress that it is perfectly of designing coins on its own (oh, that's right, they aren't). I would like to see such a project given to a single sculptor and a single engraver just like it was a hundred years ago and see what we get. Can the design by committee concept.

Go grief another rammed through piece of legislation. Submitted with ZERO co-sponsers they manage to get it slipped through both houses with no debate and no hearings and without even being voted on by placing it on the unanimous consent calendar. (Unanimous consent passes without a vote unless someone objects to it.) So we may get a now palladium coin simply because one representative (and probably two Senators) wants it to benefit one of his constituents.
