I'd like a return to the Mercury dime. That's a beautiful coin. The habit of putting busts of Presidents on coins didn't happen until the 20th century (penny-1909; nickel-1938; dime-1946; quarter-1932; half-dollar-1964; dollar-1971). Before that, it was Indians, birds, or depictions of a feminine liberty. We should go back to that.

I am all for that. Stop putting politicians on coins and naming ships after them. I make an exception for George Washington.
