Message:: [QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2682608, member: 66"]After skimming through Title 31 Sec 5112 the only things I see that are fixed in design are The nickel has to have Jefferson and Monticello on it. The $50 AGE has to have an image of Liberty and the reverse has to have the "family of eagles" design (fractionals do not have to have them.) After the ATB quarters end the quarter will have the Flanagan design obv and Washington crossing the Delaware reverse. The Paladium bullion has to have the mercury dime obv and the 1907 American Institute of Architects medal design on the reverse.  The Secretary also has to consult with congress on changes to the dollar design. The ASE has to have Liberty on one side and an eagle on the other, period.  Other than that everything is up for grabs, and the Sec of the Treasury does still have the authority to change the designs once every 25 years on his own authority without consulting Congress.  So right now on his ow authority he could change the dime, half dollar, ASE, the Fractional AGE's, and the Buffalo $50 gold (it only had to have Fraser's design for the first year of issuance.) Really?  How many sea turtle design proposals have there been for him to shoot down?  I can't recall any. But the Sec of the Treasury doesn't have to accept their recommendations.[/QUOTE]
