[ATTACH=full]651659[/ATTACH] Now for those of you whom may not know how important these characters were in the golden age of Television let me introduce you.. Dancing bear, Mr. Moose, Mr. Green jeans , Bunny Rabbit ,and of course the captain . Now for the argument first of all there's 5 characters making it easy to convert each coin to a new fresh look.... Next if you were a kid in the mid 1950-60's Every morning your mind was trusted by your parents to watch these characters on a black and white TV set. Next just imagine rolling into a McDonald's drive through. .....and telling some millenial that they owe you 1 Mr, Moose and 3 Bunny Rabbits in change.:jawdrop: Lastly I'm sure.....well not really that the U.S. Mint could do a remarkable likeness of each of these fun Characters on our coinage. oh BTW we'll do away with the dollar bill and put Grandfather Clock on a dollar coin. :)[/QUOTE]
