It's not like there aren't precedents for this. Check out both the Jewish and Islamic states (the Amish have the same rule), no graven images.

 

Look no further than US coin history.

What about the shield Nickel?

 

Save the people........

 

I’m all in favor of redesigning our coinage as long as it doesn’t include people, dead or alive.

 

I know this isn't a US coin, but I can see the corporate mint doing something this crazy. Sorry if you don't think this fits this thread.

Those Fijians. Are they party animals, or what? I dig their $7 note to honor their rugby sevens Olympic champions.

 

That was tried back in 1942 to save metal for the cent, and even with the great patriotic fervor of the time it failed. It was tried again during the cent shortages of 1974 and it once again failed to bring the cents back out of hiding. And that was back when that extra half cent per coin was worth significantly more in terms of purchasing power than it would be worth today.

 

I had never heard that...either instance. Once again Conder...you have provide me with new knowledge! I love reading your posts because I always learn something interesting. Thanks!!!

 

Wasn't that the design on the back of the Bicentennial quarter?

 

No, drummer boy. Washington Crossing was on the New Jersey quarter.

I took a survey at the mint and I don’t remember all of the options but some of the new quarter designs for after the ATB designs hinted at being:sports, famous women, all the decades of American history, something with the environment and like 1 or 2 more.

State Shrub
State Bird
State Fossil
State Mineral

It seems to me that Washington isn't really crossing the Delaware - he's watching some other guys in a boat crossing the Delaware...saying "That way! Go that way!"

 

He's standing in the lead boat saying follow me.

 

and he's holding a bottle of beer ...

 

That's his telescope but you already knew that.
