Is that Christopher Walken on the new US nickel? Don Shula?


The U.S. Mint unveiled new designs for two new nickels, Thursday, Sept. 16, 2004. The revamped nickels will be issued in 2005 with a new likeness of Thomas Jefferson, the third president, who will still be on the front of the two revised coins, while the 'tails' side will also get a new look including a side-view of an American bison, grazing, and a view of the water from a rocky coastline dotted with trees with the phrase 'Ocean in view! O! The joy!' a quote from explorer William Clark's journal, a reference to the Lewis and Clark expedition's quest to reach the Pacific Ocean. (AP Photo/US Mint)

2. Looks more like Captain Piccard
Although I agree, Christopher Walken should be on US currency. Make it so.

8. "O! The Joy!"
Who came up with the idea to put THAT on a piece of currency?

I do like the picture, however. Much better than the Jefferson Memorial.
