As a collector of the series, I think an update would be good. Other opinions?

I think they should take all the presidents off of all circulating coins, personally.

 

As for the Roosevelt Dime, I definitely don't think they should touch the reverse if they're going to keep FDR on the obverse. That's the reason why most people like Roosevelts anyway is to seek out Full Torches.

 

I guess having a new personification of Liberty on circulating coins would be too much to ask for from the Government.

I do not find any of the designs on circulating coinage appealing. And except for the awful looking SBA and presidential dollars, I rank it as the worst ever on any US circulating coin.

.......Dont get me ranting on the under-appreciation of the roosevelt dime

 

But yes I will enjoy the day we see a new design or redesign

A return to past designs of quality, featuring Liberty, would be a great improvement over the present.

IMO the problem is not only the subject matter as to what should be on U.S. Coins, its the method they use to achieve it,

 

All of these computer generated designs that give us things like the Spaghetti Haired G.W. Quarters, Snakeskin Proofs (Lee) and Cartoon-ish Presidential $1 and Spouse Coins............etc.

 

Get rid of the computer and get some talented Hand Engravers to sculpt the

original designs whatever they may be, JMO......Oh, and leave the Roosies alone, they are just fine the way they are....
