Thank goodness the Mint is finally getting the balls to try changing the tired and from an artistic standpoint, horrid designs of our coins. Believe me, all this temporary commemorative stuff is just a trial run for a permanent change.

Unfortunately, the continued retardation of the public has been used as the excuse for keeping the designs as they are. Apparently the dopes of this country won't be able to tell how much money is in their pockets if the pictures are different.

Do you really expect that any changes in our coins will be for the better? Graphic design and government sponsored art is at a low point right now, for the most part. The new paper money is dismally ugly.
