On April 23, 2003  U.S. President Bush signed legislation that authorized the design change of the nickel for release in 2004. It was the first change to the coin in 65 years. The change, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase, was planned to run for only two years before returning to the previous design.  Does it really matter?  Nickels are becoming about as useless as a penny... if you saw one of these on the ground would you really even pick it up?  I'll barely waste any energy to grab a quarter... and with massive inflation on the way I might even be walking right past $5 bills.

thanks for keep me savvy on penny pinching with the Abrahomey and it was nice gettin nickled but i think its time to get dimed. when's roosevelt gonna get re-vamped? regardless, isn't it ironic that the smallest form of U.S. currency is iconic of "walk softly but carry a big stick" ?

keep CHANGIN it up with the cash blasts from the past please. (dont hesitate to keep recycling up on mount cleverest - afterall, it is a recession!)
