    BTW, the modern Jefferson nickel with the face too big for the Obverse needs to go, imho.

    Either eliminate or redesign, preferably with a vintage throw back.

    I doubt that St. Gauden's designs for the Eagle and Double-Eagle would even be approved nowadays. Not to mention, imagine the uproar that would ensue if the BEP reissued this note even with the corrected headdress.

    No bison fans?!

    Where I live, there are numerous "Buffalo" herds, and lots of local meat for sale; all are full of American Bison!

    I wish I had the real thing myself. That's just a picture of one I found online.

    Once the voting is finished, I will tabulate the results and forward them to the Treasury Department for their review and consideration. I'm sure they will comply with our wishes, after-all, we the "People" and we have spoken. :)

    Are buffalo wings really bison legs?

    Just checked the views which were at 210 of which only 22 voted so far. I guess the majority doesn't care.:(

    Unfortunately, we are not members of Congress or the hoity-toity Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. You'll be lucky even to receive a form letter from the U.S. Treasury Department.

    I can't find it, but years ago there was a B.C. comic where BC looks up "Buffalo" in Wiley's Dictionary. The dictionary says, "Buffalo: See Bison". So BC looks up "Bison" and it says, "Bison: Second largest city in New York State" :D (classic!)

    I would've voted, but I don't see a choice for "get rid of them, along with the cent and the dime".
