The US Mint has gotten brave and released a new design for the nickel. They’ve been doing a bit of this lately, but it’d be nice if they’d change the design permanently. I personally think they should redo the designs on all of the coins: the penny has had the same design since 1959, the dime since 1946, the quarter since 1932, and the half dollar (which you rarely ever see — a pity in my opinion) since 1964. The dollar coin, however, has gone through quite a few revisions: Eisenhower, then Susan B. Anthony, and then Sacagawea. These coins would be more widely accepted and used if they would actually phase out the dollar bill at the same time. That seems unlikely to happen, however.
