<p>[QUOTE="fusiafinch, post: 1716886, member: 18382"]I think they should change the obverse portraits on all coins to match the style of the Jefferson nickel. The "facing portrait" of the nickel can be used on all other denominations, although for the quarter, I would wait until the America the Beautiful series wrapped up. For all of the creativity the Mint shows with the quarters and special commemoratives, they sure are timid when it comes to changing designs on our circulating coins. Even with the cent and nickel, they only changed one side of the coin. Why are they so timid? We have a chance to change the design of the Kennedy half next year with the 50th anniversary, but they won't do anything except offer special finishes. Why not a commemorative reverse, like the bicentennial, only this time honor the space program, the civil rights movement, or the peace corps? </p><p><br /></p><p>At least there may be some hope for a one year type with Liberty on our coins again.
