[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 25376294, member: 105571"]As a matter of personal taste, I have always considered the Roosevelt dime to be a lot of "meh". And it's far too long in the tooth. But I fear that if the change was left up to the collective committee we would wind up with something even worse. Now, the No Stars Liberty Seated design shown below has everything that is necessary and nothing that is not and fits beautifully within the constrained canvas. A design that is similarly classic and simple would be to my taste. I guess the coinage laws now require "E Pluribus Unum" and "In God We Trust" on our coinage. A small "E Pluribus Unum" could be incorporated in the right obverse field, ala Lincoln Cents and a small "In God We Trust" could go under the reverse wreath. I would also like to see a step away from the low-relief designs of the previous decades. [ATTACH=full]1624584[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
