<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 7095, member: 487&quot;]Yes Jefferson and Monticello are returning in 2006, although it may be a different design from the Schlag we are used to. The 2006 and forever thereafter will be Jefferson and Monticello.</p><p><br /></p><p>The answer to Bromacs question:</p><p><br /></p><p>The treasury has the authority to redesign any coin after 25 years without congressional approval. The last treasurer stated publicly that he did not feel he had the power to change such designs without congressional authority. I guess he was right. After the mint made its mind to change the five cent coin, Virginia stepped up and got the congress to pass a law stating that Jefferson and Monticello would have to remain on the five cent coin forever. Despite the fact it has been on the coin since 1938. Since collectors did not make their collective voices known, we have lost our five cent coin. There are plenty of people who like the fact Jefferson remains, and they have very valid points, but for collectors, overall change is good. </p><p>100 million collecting because of the state quarter program can&#039;t be wrong.</p><p>Until the annoucement was made for the new Jeffersons, all I ever sold in that series were the &quot;War Nickels&quot;. Now I sell more rolls of Jeffersons than State Quarters.</p><p>Just goes to show you what a design change can do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
