[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 26594697, member: 102022"]Since my existence on this beautiful blue orb, I've seen all denominations of US coinage change designs, except ol Roosie. [B]Cent/Penny[/B], metal composition first, then design(s). [B]Nickel[/B], a few changes since 2004. [B]Dime[/B], xxx [B]Quarter[/B], sooooo many changes I've become hardened and bored with the 'new' releases. [B]Half Dollar[/B], granted, I was just a wee lad when the Franklin was suddenly discontinued and sadly replaced with the newly departed JFK. But it was during my time. [B]Dollar[/B], between small and large, clad and golden, newly designed and classic/retro, none are ever widely accepted and used in commerce. So back to the dime. The first new design in my lifetime, and it's welcomed. Honestly, I think they did a bang up job. Looks great, IMO. Granted, they did squeeze 10 lbs of ish in a 5 lb box on the reverse, but it works. I'm looking forward to seeing it in hand.[/QUOTE]
