<p>[QUOTE="Good Cents, post: 4825950, member: 100720"]It's not any different, and the standard-issue coins - Cents, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters - NEVER generated the kind of interest which the State Quarters Series & ATB Quarters Series generated with people who wouldn't otherwise have been collectors. And once those people started really enjoying collecting the State or ATB quarters some of them graduated to other coins. Some sprung for Proof Sets or Silver Sets, bought them as gifts, etc. The point is, the State and ATB Series Quarters generated a huge amount of interest that the standard issue coins never did before.</p><p><br /></p><p>So starting with "Heads" again, of anyone great - musicians, poets, scientists - will not generate that kind of interest. But I think Animals will. Mammals in particular. And every state has an official Mammal. Some states even have more than one. Birds are not a good idea because they all would look too similar on a single-color coin. But Mammals all look different - a horse, beaver, orca, panther, fox, bear, deer, cat, sheep, dolphin, dog, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
