<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 477165, member: 5233&quot;]So, last week I made a poll asking you to vote for your favorite cent design.&nbsp; The premise was, the US government had decided to change the cent to a &quot;historical&quot; design based on a popular vote.&nbsp; So, now that poll has closed...it&#039;s time to do it for the 5 cent piece.&nbsp; I think I&#039;ll do a weekly poll of this fashion just for fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, so this week is the 5 cent piece.&nbsp; Now, I call it a five cent piece rather than a &quot;nickel&quot; because the US has used two separate kinds of 5 cent pieces...as we all know those are the half dime and the nickel.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, here are the &quot;rules and circumstances&quot; behind the poll.&nbsp; The US government has decided to change the design on the nickel.&nbsp; They don&#039;t want to use a new design, rather bring back an the most popular design in US history.&nbsp; They want to change the design on all denominations of our change to reflect the best America has ever used.&nbsp; However, there are some limits.&nbsp; Most notably, the planchet the coin is being struck on.&nbsp; Regardless of the winning design, the coin will be struck on the 5g nickel smooth rimmed planchet that is currently used.&nbsp; So, you may want to factor that into the decision you make.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tried to include all major designs of the half dime and nickels into the poll.&nbsp; I know the design from the 2005 nickel isn&#039;t listed, but because it was a one year only issue with multiple reverses...it was hard to add to the poll.&nbsp; So, I did the best I could to be as comprehensive as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>The poll will run for 7 days and you will only be allowed to vote for one design.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><u><b>Previous Winning Designs</b></u></p><p><u>Cent</u>: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44401" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44401">Flying Eagle Cent</a> 34.15% of vote[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
