I mean, honestly it’s pretty stupid to not put the woman being honored on the obverse of the coin and that something relevant to her reason for being on the coin to begin with on the reverse.

I guess they’re all Washington’s mistresses now?

I love how nobody in Congress thinks through their decisions before forcing the Mint to execute them

I also find it funny because it’s not like Washington isn’t also on the dollar and that there aren’t over 100 billion Washington quarters currently in existence. Like, they’re not going away if you boot him for a couple of years (or forever) but frightened Congressmen will never allow this.

It’s probably why we still have cents, nickels, and dimes despite their lack of purchasing power. If they were images of Liberty, those denominations would’ve been jettisoned decades ago (even the quarter-dollar is on shaky inflationary ground now) but because we don’t, the Mint will still being striking Lincoln cents for circulation into the 22nd century 🙂
