[QUOTE="clembo, post: 552449, member: 8033"]For very unscientific and impractical reasons I voted yes. Why not? I look at it this way before the state quarters came along how did SOOOOOO many kids get into coin collecting? Ah yes - the "penny" of course. You could get them in change and they were cheap. The Lincoln influenced me as a child although I don't actively collect them now. I still have old 2x2s with nice red 1971 Lincolns that I pulled from circulaton as a child and graded as XF as they couldn't be uncirculated because I got them in change. I was 9 at the time. I still have those coins and the writing of a 9 year old clembo is on the 2x2s. Not cost effective? Fine make them out of aluminum and while you're at it change the design. I'd love to see an aluminum Flying Eagle dated 2010. Wonder what it would look like in proof? Call me an old softy but even though I don't collect them I have every wheatie except the 09SVDB, 22, and 55DDO. They're good for the hobby if nothing else.[/QUOTE]
