besides the spring design for the nickel there will be a new design in the fall! for information go to: http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=nickel_series tell me what you think about the fall design.
The Keelboat design isn't a bad idea at all. It makes me think of what it must have been like, to have traveled with Lewis and Clark, on that historic expedition.
Personally, I'm not too crazy about it. I'm glad that things are changing....and that it's not permanent....but I'm not sure what I'll be happy with. I saw a picture of the 2006 nickel....is that design for sure? Is there a reverse design yet? I liked the souped up obverse on that one....because it looks exactly like my grandpa.
