[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 345829, member: 4626"]You know, Christmas is only special because it happens once a year... if it was every day, nobody would care. The only reason the different reverses are special is because it's a departure from the norm. If it instead became the norm, people would get sick of it. I say let the 2010 quarter just be a normal quarter, for at least a year. Maybe have special circulating commemoratives ocassionally, but not constrantly. Else collectors will burn out on them and just cease caring. And please, PLEASE, do not put a forward facing portrait of Washington on the quarter... that thing on the nickel is seriously butt-ugly and an insult to Jefferson... let's not continue with that OK? May as well pee on their graves instread, that kind of insult dissipates faster at least, doesn't linger around for 40+ years (circulationg life of a coin on average). Not a big fan of the new nickel if you can't tell. I'm all for re-designing the coinage periodically, should be done a lot more often than it is, but it has to pass some basic tests of aesthetics... make sure it looks better than a 5 year old's crayon drawing, for one...[/QUOTE]
