<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 8705, member: 487"]I understand your wanting to honor the founding fathers. Jody has the same passion. I respect that. Only two of our six coins feature a founding father. Neither of those two men wanted to be honored in that fashion. So how do we honor the man without honoring their wishes?</p><p>If you want them to stay the same, you should still contact your rep. or senator to let them know. Don't let anyone make a decision for you without your opinion known. </p><p>Now as much as I want change, I would be happy with updated designs featuring different reverses. Such as the new Jefferson and Washington. These two new coins, have sparked a renewed interest in history among school kids. So if we make a permanent design, we will fall back into the same old rut. Too many people are unaware that the mint even sells coins. So if we lose the 100 million new collectors, we all lose. Not just the collector, but America as a whole.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
