<p>[QUOTE="Mr. Coin Lover, post: 458245, member: 16060"]It does seem like the mint would see what happens. I agree in part with the "rehash" part, but the mint does need to upgrade our coins. Replace the dead presidents with something other than other dead presidents. FDR in my opinion was our greatest president, I don't want to start a political debate here, but I say this because as much as I respect him his dime is no mercury dime. He has been on the dime since 1946, I think our nation has paid its respects, so lets move on. But can you imagine the uproar if he was attempted to be taken off the dime. The same is true about Kennedy/Washington/Lincoln. Probably the easiest pres. to remove might be Jefferson. Once you put one of them on a coin they stay. I don't think any coin made for circulation should ever have a real person on it. With our technology now Miss Liberty could really make some beautiful coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
