I liked it better when I knew what a quarter was supposed to look like. They used to honor people by making postage stamps, not redesigning the coins all the time.

We see an influx of foreign coinage that looks similar. Gas stations/convenience stores are synonymous in passing them off in change to the customer.

Enough is enough, U.S. Mint. How many different quarters do we need? Give it a rest. I'm just waiting for the day the U.S. Mint decides it's okay to mint coins of people still living, like many other countries do all the time. That will be the day you know they've hit rock bottom.

I’ve never heard of any of these ladies. Does that mean I’m ignorant? 🤷🏼 American coinage was at its peak in 1916. The harbinger of the mints downfall was putting Lincoln on the cent in ‘09. It didn’t take long and we had Washington in ‘32. Even though he refused to be glorified like that. Then Jefferson in ‘38. Roosevelt in ‘46. Kennedy in ‘64. Our coinage started out with lady liberty. There’s was no way they would glorify a dead politician back then. Now we have the dead president series. We need another Teddy Roosevelt to come and revamp our coinage like he did before. This is from when coins were cool!

If they came out with 5 new men instead of 5 new women, would anyone even care? If I had my druthers, every coin would be a Draped Bust or Liberty Cap. Hard to beat those classic designs.
