Louisian Purchase Nickels

#1 Postby GalvestonDuck » Tue Aug 17, 2004 3:45 pm

Anybody got one yet?

I remember briefly reading about it but it was during something else major in the news and I just shoved it into the back of my mind and forgot about it until a few minutes ago when I went to get a Diet Pepsi. Reached in my pocket for change and happened to see a really funny looking coin that I knew wasn't a quarter. I separated it from the bunch and looked closer. That's when I saw the design right-side up and knew what it was.

Pretty cool and different!

NO, I haven't seen one of those yet!! Does anybody have a picture, because that sounds like it could be interesting.
