Bourgeois, how could you post on the Big Jeff without recognizing the new nickel designs that the U.S. Mint released today?

Just saw that. What can I say? Your numismatic antennae are more attuned than are mine. The three-quarter face off-center design is a refreshing change from the half or full-face versions put out by the Mint previously. As one who appreciates contemporary design, I am happy that they [the Mint] are becoming a bit more experimental in their approach to our currency's design. Might be a good way to keep the counterfiters on the defensive, too -- though I doubt they're producing truckloads of Big Toms in Peshawar.
