<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2682465, member: 71723&quot;]The designs of our circulating coins are now essentially in fixed federal statutes. The Mint, or the Secretary of the Treasury, no longer has the authority to change our circulating coins after 25 years of a design, as they used to have. The state and ATB quarters, the 2009 Lincoln reverses, the 2010 Lincoln Shield, the 2004-05 Westward Ho nickels have all proven to the Congress that only THEY should have that authority. They won&#039;t trust the executive branch will design authority other than details. Every incumbent circulating design has such an entrenched Congressional constituency that no changes are any longer viable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
