<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1223656, member: 11521&quot;]Since the 1790s Congress has required an eagle on the reverse of any coins with a denomination above 10 cents. The original Liberty Bell design for the reverse of the Franklin Half did not include an eagle. Before final approval someone realized an eagle was required on the reverse of the Half so a tiny eagle was added. </p><p><br /></p><p>Did Congress repeal that law somewhere along the line? We seem to have gotten away from the tradition of depicting an eagle on the reverse of the Quarter and larger denominations with the Bicentennial Coins, State Quarters, Territorial Quarters, Native American Dollars, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
