Sorry to hear about Lou! My best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I'm surprised they don't already, there are images of animals on some coins and, who knows, the animals might be offended. Hey, it's 2016 and we...

And that is the scary part....I'm seeing a greater and great percentage of shield cents. At this pace I expect Memorial cents are going to dry up...
