<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 79631, member: 112&quot;]Well proposed coin design changes get started in Congress in recent years, but that&#039;s not how it used to be nor is it supposed to be. There was a law enacted in 1890, still in force, that gives the Secretary of the Treasury the right to change coin designs. The law states that as long as the design of a coin is 25 yrs old or older - the Sev Treas can change the design at his whim. </p><p><br /></p><p>In today&#039;s world, proposed design changes can be intiated by anyone asking their Congressman or Senator to introduce legislation or the Congressional member may start it all on his/her own. Many times it is intiated by special interest groups as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can read about any proposed coin legislation at the following - <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query" rel="nofollow">CLICK HERE</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
