<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DrStrangelove, post: 9621, member: 793&quot;]I support change in design of coins every 20&gt;30 years (with occasional special releases like bicentenials).&nbsp; But the quality of new coins must be improved. While I enjoy spending Sac dollars, I think it was overall a poorly designed coin. So was the SBA.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Change for the sake of change is not a good thing when it comes to coins.&nbsp; Designs should be changed only: A) when a superb replacement has been designed and/or; B) an event, such as the sudden death of a president, calls for a special coin release (Note: both the Kennedy and the Roosevelt dimes are very well designed in my opinion).</p><p><br /></p><p>The Mint should use focus groups to gage public reaction to a new design just like every other company does before it introduces a new product.&nbsp; With some slight modification, the Sac could have been a very successful coin, and saved the U.S. tax payer billions of dollars by begining the phase out of the dollar bill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
