    You'd be better off contacting your local government reps and asking them to propose legislation to do so as a petition isn't really going to do anything.
     
  4. I am not hosting it, a friend of someone on another forum is, just promoting it!

    If they approved it it would open a whole can if worms since @dcarr beat them to the punch.

    Contact your congressman. Doubt it would do much good.

    I expect that the "real" purpose of the petition is to put and end to Daniel Carr.

    As such, I have no interest in signing the petition.

    CC mint should be ashamed for making such trash when they used to make some of the best morgans ever.

    Boy this thread brings back memories ! And it started back when Coin World still had a coin forum, but most of you won't even remember that.

    But yeah, I'd agree with the comments that most of the time petitions aren't going to do a whole lot. And the thing that started it was people saying - nahhh, it can't be done, it won't do any good. But as the old saying goes it's not so much what ya know, but who you know. And I said it could be done. So when I was "dared" to do it, I took up the challenge and did just that.

    It resulted in this -
    https://www.cointalk.com/threads/time-for-a-change-in-our-change.170/

    Most of the links that you'll find in that thread are dead now because it was so long ago, back then CT was only 2 months old. But it still tells the story of what I did, and most of how I did it. And if you had copies of all the coin magazines from back then you'd find the same story in all of them as well.

    Short and sweet the campaign was successful, US coinage got redesigned, just not the way I had intended or hoped it would get redesigned. It ended up being one of those cases you needed to be careful of what you were wishing for - unfortunately I was not careful :(

    But the point is, it can be done.
