So as I understand it, this is just a continuation of the ciirculating commemorative program starting with this year's Lewis/Clark nickels? And then they go back to the fugly normal nickel design?

Bummer, but I think the US Mint is on the right track, trying to get the zombies that populate America to accept change.

Can't wait til the total redesign happens.

The new obverse (Jefferson) would remain and Montecello would be restored to the reverse... it would probably be updated too.

Interesting note left off the Yahoo piece: the word "Liberty" is a reproduction of the word in Jefferson's own hand.
