Very much in the European model.</p><p>Then the other half want the conservative approach, with a large portion of these wanting silver coinage and copper cents.</p><p>When these posts come up, they battle viciously.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am conservative.</p><p>I think it is a terrible idea to &quot;European-ize&quot; our money.</p><p>Keep it green, keep it cotton-paper, keep the cent and dollar bill.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So much of our coinage/currency now is devoid of artistry and just plain bad looking.</p><p>IMO faces on coins should not be looking at you, for example. Has anyone else noticed that is why the prez dollars look so bad? Or am I the only one that believes coin portraits should be in profile?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinions... your .02 may vary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
