<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 572831, member: 5233"]So, over the last several months I have conducted a series of polls to determine which historical design the member s of Coin Talk would like to see return to our coins. We have gotten through the half dollar so far and now will begin the final poll for circulation coins.

The premise is, the US government has decided to change the design on all coins to a "historical" design based on a popular vote.

This week's poll is the Dollar...but no matter what the winning design is, it would be made on a 26.5mm diameter smooth edge “golden” planchet.
