Chacham's Journal: News: Nickel with new pictures ready for circulation

Fox News has an article entitled "New Nickels About to Go Into Circulation". I always dislike new things. Who needs them anyway?

Coins

I still am mystified as to why we don't have a coin with that famous image of the an astronaut on the moon with the American flag. It would look great on a coin, or maybe as a color hologram on a paper bill. It also is one of the better things that the U.S. has done for mankind and would celebrate that. Once I had a dream that there was a one dollar coin that had this image on the front and was dated 2019. It looked really cool. It was also more reflective than most coins. Oh well...

Personally, i think we shouldn't use pictures. A simple number would do.

Style man... it's all about style. :P

Yeah, yeah.

That's what _collector's_ coins are for.

I have no problem if they make money there. Besides, what you may consider style, well, i may consider.... :)

Do my eyes deceive me?

[Call Me Black Cloud]

I know you take great delight in pointing out spelling errors on Slashdot, so I was very surprised to see the title of this thread: "News: Nickle with new pictures ready for circulation." The US Mint and I are quite sure it's spelled "nickel" [usmint.gov].

I was very surprised

Don't be so suprised. I have a hard time correcting my own mistakes. The reason i point out Slashdot's, is because they are read by at least two different people.

Either way, thanx for the correction! :)
