nickel back (back of nickel)
WASHINGTON(AP) -- The nickel is getting a makeover.
The back side of the new 5-cent coin will commemorate the bicentennial of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase and the 1804-06 Lewis and Clark expedition. The U.S. Mint hopes to issue the nickels late this year or in early 2004.
In 2006, nickels will return to a depiction of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's Virginia home, although the image will not necessarily replicate the version on today's coin.
Do you like the idea of changing up the look of our money? If so--what should be changed in the future?
I'd luck to see Teddy Roosevelt on something.
