<p>[QUOTE=&quot;faceglider, post: 1242243, member: 32190&quot;]The Shield nickel was thought to be ugly when it came out. I like it personally.&nbsp; Does anyone know why they took the rays off of the early shields?&nbsp; I know arrows in the Seated Libs indicated weight change.&nbsp; Was that the reason for the rays on the nickel - to indicate weight change from the lighter half dime?&nbsp; Just a guess.&nbsp; </p><p>Anyway...back to the original post.&nbsp; The Buffalo nickel was a bad idea, I think.&nbsp; I&#039;m tired of the same designs.&nbsp; For my entire life, it&#039;s been the same designs on all of the most-used coins (Quarter, Dime, nickel and cent) until, of course, the State Quarter program.&nbsp; But it&#039;s still Washington.&nbsp; I&#039;d like to see Theodore Roosevelt on a coin (besides the Dollar).&nbsp; Washington is already on the Dollar Bill.&nbsp; Replace him on the Quarter.&nbsp; Lincoln is already on the $5 bill.&nbsp; Put someone else on the cent, or on the bill.&nbsp; Give another ex-president some sunshine. lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
