<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 9583, member: 68&quot;]GDJMSP&#039;s efforts to change designs were mentioned in the hobby press. It may not be so much apathy which prevents more success as it is defeatism.&nbsp; There was a lot of effort expended toward this goal in the late &#039;80&#039;s and then it was lost on the eve of victory.&nbsp; It&#039;s possible that that effort did pave the way for later changes, though.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>While large numbers may not have signed the petition, it is likely that more did take the time to eMail their Congressman.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is really more serious than simply the stagnation involved.&nbsp; The currency system is also losing a great deal of utility because of obsolete denominations and lack of more useful denominations.&nbsp; For instance the quarter which is the largest circulating denomination lacks any real buying power any more.&nbsp; The half dollar which actually circulated in the early sixties is worth nearly $3.50 in todays money.&nbsp; Or todays quarter would be a three cent piece in 1960 money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
