[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 60326, member: 708"]I must admit i myself particularly dislike these coin themes. I don't mean yours in particular. I just mean the whole idea of rotating designs in general. I tend to prefer static designs that are only changed every 15/20 years, although when they change they change dramatically. Why 15/20 years? If you leave it longer than that the coinage gets a certain yawn factor about it, change it much quicker than than and you seem to lose any sense of stability, it bcomes too collector orientated, too mint making profit orientated for my liking. I think the old days of US coins were better, Barber series came lasted a while, got changed for the new classic designs of the 1910s, they stopped a while then they changed, i think in the 1960s they should have changed them again, and then again in the 1980s/1990s.[/QUOTE]
