They aren't going to do Supreme Court Justices (yet).
What's proposed:
A few years of historically significant women.
A few years of "youth sports"
A few years of "sports participants with disabilities"

I was just speaking hypothetically in response to a post from @Beardigger.

 

Oh, I knew that. I should have been more clear in my response.

 

"Semiquincentennial"

Why am I reminded of "Mary Poppins"?

 

Naturally it will pass. And a design will be forthcoming. 95% of us won't like it. The remains 5% will adore it. And yes, it will be overpriced. Accept the facts as nothing changes with these types of coins.

 

Don't deprive me of my right to gripe!

 

Took me more toward Gilbert and Sullivan.

"This US Quarter celebrates the Semiquincentennial
Another in a stream of mediocrities perennial..."

 

Thanks, now the Major-General song will be stuck in my head all weekend.

 

Right now probably not. There's much bigger fights that will be taking up the majority of their time at the moment. Something as meaningless as that bill can easily just linger and fade away

 

Which, thank Peter, we need not discuss here.

 

I wasn't discussing it at all, just pointing out that things that pass with such little attention in the way this did can very easily linger and just disappear.

 

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were.

 

I understand but the House has passed it. The Senate has their own version. I think it will get done very soon. Congress would rather deal with this than other issues.

 

It's certainly possible. If you look at it though the house just kind of said yea sure it wasn't something anyone really seemed to be concerned about with how it was passed. I wouldnt really be surprised either way if it just sort of gets the yea sure passage or gets ignored.

 

Agreeded!

 

In 2017 S.759 proposed elimination of the cent...
Been too busy to save money at the mint

 

Surprised when you have the FED working double time on a digital currency.

 

These days I get more excited getting a regular eagle quarter in my change than any of the state or other versions of late.

 

"...A dozen quarters, halves, and dimes, but nothing new that's penny-al
A shorter synonym would have been just sestercentennial."
