<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2646433, member: 112&quot;]Boy this thread brings back memories ! And it started back when Coin World still had a coin forum, but most of you won&#039;t even remember that.</p><p><br /></p><p>But yeah, I&#039;d agree with the comments that most of the time petitions aren&#039;t going to do a whole lot. And the thing that started it was people saying - nahhh, it can&#039;t be done, it won&#039;t do any good. But as the old saying goes it&#039;s not so much what ya know, but who you know. And I said it could be done. So when I was &quot;dared&quot; to do it, I took up the challenge and did just that. </p><p><br /></p><p>It resulted in this - </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/time-for-a-change-in-our-change.170/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/time-for-a-change-in-our-change.170/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/time-for-a-change-in-our-change.170/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the links that you&#039;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&#039;d find the same story in all of them as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>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 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But the point is, it can be done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
