Message:: [QUOTE="dannic113, post: 1398351, member: 35203"]I agree most don't like change look no further than the SBA's and today's prez. dollars but in today's age everything changes so quick we are becoming numb to it. You also have to keep in mind sometimes change is just for change's sake. Besides the marketing and money making aspect of coins and changing the designs modern day coinage is signed into law and most have start and end production dates for those coins. Those that don't still have to change due to congressional law that a coin design can only be used for something like 65 years and then it's to be changed. Hense the quarters program, the redesign of the nickel and then the return to monticello but keeping the new obverse, the cent changes the list goes on. The only one seeming to buck this trend is the Roosevelt dime as it's actually overdue and the Kennedy half is coming up in a decade or two to it's limit as well. The only thing I can think of why they wouldn't change those two is because they were originally stated that they commemorated the presidents on them so there may be a loophole.[/QUOTE]
