I like the buffalo revival, But the portrait of Jefferson sucks.

[kedrys]

1. Why is the buffalo so detailed, while Jefferson looks like a cartoon?

This is not right at all. :(

[hlthe2b]

2. Am I the only one who notices how LIGHT it is in weight? Cheesy, I think

Though I don't mind the design, especially the buffalo.

4. There is a buffalo dick on it too.

Look closer

[Mutley]

9. That's not right at all!

I can't believe you pointed that out to me.

I wonder what the person who originally drew that was thinking?

[hlthe2b]

11. Someone want to clue me in on why that is such an issue?

It is obviously a male buffalo. Why would they not draw it with a penis? :shrug:

[Mutley]

12. I don't know

it just doesn't seem right

[AllegroRondo]

10. Dont tell Ashcroft

he'll want it covered in white cloth.

15. How did John Asscrotch miss that one?

I'm assuming this has been in the works for months.

Does this mean that Dobson/Falwell/Robertson etc are going to be calling for a ban on "pornographic nickels"??

3. I don't know how it did in the Senate but the House passed a bill

authorizing new quarters. The new designs will be of all the presidents and they will release 4 new ones every year.

5. New quarters? Again?

I like the Onion article about the issuing of U.S. county pennies. The last one will arrive in 2415.:rofl:

[mark414]

7. all presidents???

you mean i could get a quarter with ray-gun or boosh on it???

[lenidog]

8. Exactly, they are going to work their way through the presidents

and I guess start with Washington. But hey you can get a Big Dawg one.

6. Someone mentioned this before

'In God we trust' is far more prominent than 'Liberty'. The latter motto being in a pseudo hand-written type-face, the former being in capital letters in a very clear type-face.

I'm not really a tin-foil wearer but...

[denverbill]

13. They didn't want to show Jefferson's long hair.

It makes him look like some kind of liberal activist.

[Placebo]

14. I miss the old nickels.

Where is Monticello? Where oh where is Monticello? :cry:
