Never thought I&#039;d live to see the day - but I guess it&#039;s here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for those who don&#039;t know what I mean by that, you shoulda been around 30 yrs ago. There was campaign after campaign to try and get the US Govt to agree to change coinage designs. They were all ignored. When coin forums first started popping up - every week or so there was a loooooooooooong thread with every single member clamoring for change - it was contantly in the numismatic press.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the old Coin World forum, the topic was raised. And guess who came up with the bright idea of saying - what&#039;s wrong with you guys, if you want change in coinage all ya gotta do is ask &#039;em. Which of course, everybody else answered with - OK wise guy, go ahead organize it then and ask them.&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>That</b> turned into a lot of work I&#039;ll tell ya - sometimes you&#039;re better off to keep your mouth shut. </p><p><br /></p><p>So it all came to pass and the requests were made, the petitons were filed etc etc. Which brings us to today and all that has transpired since then.</p><p><br /></p><p>The moral of the story - be careful what ya ask for <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
