It would mean a lot of free publicity and be a reminder that FDR is on the dime for a good reason.

President Roosevelt himself poured a large bag of collected dimes for the program on his desk (for the movie reel audience to see). They were all Mercury Dimes (of course).

Plus the bill says nothing about replicating the Roosevelt dime but rather employing “motifs that represent past, present, and future…” which means dull, boring, mundane images rather than something beautiful, exciting, and attractive that would make it an esthetically desirable collectable coin. Definitely a cause worth commemorating but likely a coin only collectors and March of Dimes people will buy.
