<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fifty, post: 919172, member: 24555&quot;]Just curious (and I was joking about Regan). Is the process the same for changing a coin design as it is for currency. I know there was a push to change the Fifty Dollar Bill to Regan that hasn&#039;t been successful. I guess congress wouldn&#039;t go for it. But I thought that the mint didn&#039;t need an act of congress to change coins if they had exisited for more than 25 years. I remember reading this somewhere when I started researching the Kennedy Half Dollar and found that special legislation was required. In short the dime hasn&#039;t changed since 1946 as previously pointed out. Could the mint theoretically change it? I know the president has the power to appoint mint officers but can the mint just design whatever without congressional approval?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not trying to hijack this thread and I would welcome a moderator splitting it into one entitled &quot;Laws regarding coin and currency changes&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
