<p>[QUOTE=&quot;admrose, post: 1676186, member: 41909&quot;]Those coins would be a nightmare for the Mint. The highest run of the Buffalo was 119 million in 1936 from Philly. The Philly mint averages over 600 million nickels a year now. They went through dies quickly back during the original run; I shudder to think how fast they&#039;d wear them out today. I agree that new coinage is needed. Never in American history have we had such a long run of one design. Except for changing to clad in 1965 the Roosevelt dime has been untouched for 67 years. The obverse of the Lincoln cent hasn&#039;t been touched in 104 years except for adding the VDB in 1919. The Jefferson nickel was the same way until 2005 when they changed the obverse only to change it again the next year. Frankly I think the current obverse is creepy looking. As for the quarters; please just stop with the different reverses and give us a whole new coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
