Time For a Change In Our Change
Redesign US Coinage
We have been stuck with the same design on our 1 cent coin for almost 100 years - our 5 cent coin for almost 65 years ( and if the folks in Virginia have their way - it will be forever ) - our 10 cent coin for 56 years and our half dollar for 38 years. Luckily the US Mint has changed our quarter & dollar coins. But it is beyond time to change the others.
In the words of Senator Phil Gramm - US coin designs "may be improved to signify the distinction and greatness of our Republic."
Throughout our nations history our coinage designs have changed - repeatedly. This has kept an interest in our coins worldwide and prevented stagnation in that interest.
Our coins are a way for the United States to make a statement - to present a piece of our history, our culture, our very way of life, not only to our own citizens - but to the citizens of the world.
As George Washington said - "I am certain it will be more agreeable to the citizens of the United States to see the head of Liberty on their coin, than the head of presidents."
It is time for a change in our change !

Our current coin line up is stagnant and in desperate need of adjustment for inflation. The value of any coin less than a dollar is trivial compared to 150 or 200 years ago when a dime in your pocket was like a $20 bill and a day's pay was counted in cent

Over the past Century, our country has grown stonger and has changed for the best. It's time to change the face of coins. Besides the flag, national anthum, and our eagle...Currency is also a major part of who we are. God is the one who has truly blessed

I've really enjoyed the changes (even if temporary) to our quarters and upcoming 04/05 nickel. I look forward to more of these type changes in the future!
