I have to admit - I really have enjoyed the 'State Quarter' program as well as the Westward Journey Nickel series. It has been fun to search through your change and see what new designs you might have in your pocket. It has also been fun to critique the designs of each state. Some have been duds - while others are very impressive designs. Plus - having so many designs has made for a multitude of die varieties and different looking clashes. And I think there are many out there that have yet to be discovered.
That said -- I think the mint is getting a little carried away (perhaps seeing the $$ rewards for selling extra mint products). Next year begins the add-on to the quarter program for U.S. Territories, D.C., etc. -- we have the commemorative Lincoln cents coming out - and the next batch of presidential dollars will hit the streets. U.S. coinage went from being nearly unchanged from decade to decade to having up to 5 designs per year for some denominations.
Maybe I'm just an old 'stick-in-the-mud' - but it is too much action for me. I'd prefer no more than one design change per year for each denomination.Last edited by russellhome; 11-03-2008, 04:15 PM.
