Looking Forward

Since my existence on this beautiful blue orb, I've seen all denominations of US coinage change designs, except ol Roosie.

Cent/Penny, metal composition first, then design(s).

Nickel, a few changes since 2004.

Dime, xxx

Quarter, sooooo many changes I've become hardened and bored with the 'new' releases.

Half Dollar, granted, I was just a wee lad when the Franklin was suddenly discontinued and sadly replaced with the newly departed JFK. But it was during my time.

Dollar, between small and large, clad and golden, newly designed and classic/retro, none are ever widely accepted and used in commerce.

So back to the dime. The first new design in my lifetime, and it's welcomed. Honestly, I think they did a bang up job. Looks great, IMO. Granted, they did squeeze 10 lbs of ish in a 5 lb box on the reverse, but it works. I'm looking forward to seeing it in hand.

Currency as in paper money, sorry that wasn't extremely obvious.

 

Thanks, now I’m not confused.

 

Yeah they can be good or bad, bad sending the coin back to circulation to be used over and over again. Good holding on to that coin because it doesn't look like anything they have seen before.
I am just wondering how many examples I will find that are still in MS.
