New coin designs needed

The country needs a president and congress who will quit playing partisan politics and design some new coins which portray lady liberty in all her splendor instead of all these dead presidents.
I for one would love to see some coins like the Mercury Dime and the Peace Dollar.
These coins seemed to take our imagination and we could run with it . Now it is just another picture of Lincoln or Roosevelt. Yes,these were great men but there images are getting overused and taken for granted on our coinage.
When you get an opportunity to see your people in congress why don't you bring up the subject and perhaps they will get the idea we need some changes to our currency.

A new token to look for could be very profitable

Did you ever realize cash is no longer king? As a matter of fact even in casinos they no longer are using tokens as they have been replaced by cash .
This is a golden opportunity for coin collectors to start looking for those old tokens and bring them to coin shows and flea markets as an adjunct to what you are selling,
In my opinion they will become highly collectible down the road so if you have some or ever see them it is my opinion to obtain as many as you can.
Good luck in your hunt and remember you heard it first here.

Arizona is driving me crazy

Maybe i have had a bad day because my furnace went out and i have been trying to get Directv,with one t,to give me a damn rebate but i cannot figure out the territorial state quater's design.I purchased them yesterday and just started looking at them today. When i pulled out a roll I did not know what the design was trying to portray.
Perhaps,with all the state and territorial quarters being released they have gotten to me. I am in a
trance and will never be the same again. If any readers of this blog can help me with this design I would be most appreciative. Until then i will remain confused and mystified over what the artist was trying to portray
I will send one to the person who has the best explanation.

Fiat money in action

While we are on the subject of our trip we managed to go to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing building in WASHINGTON ,D. C.
As mentioned in previous posts they print 'FIAT'money and we observed how they actually print the notes for our country.Over nine hundred million dollars is printed every day but according to our guide this is mainly money which replaces old worn out notes. However,it is still not backed by anything.
Irregardless, it is a great tour and free to the general public as all of Washington's museums are.

Coins Come Alive

We just returned from Charleston,West Virginia and had the wonderful experience of visiting Thomas Jefferson's home. It just so happens to be the home on the back of the five cent coin and we were amazed how beautiful the real home is. It is part of the Monticello estate and would love to see some readers of this blog take our advice and go see it for yourselves.
This home is living history and because of coin collecting I went out of my way to see the real model.What an experience.
