OutThere said:They worked themselves in over the summer, I first started noticing them in the change I made for people in July. It's always fun to see new stuff.
I can't believe they came out that long ago and I just got my first one.. I mean North Carolina is backwards and all, but not THAT backwards.
They're cool. I'm not much into coin collecting, but ever since my Mom got me the first State Quarters proof set, I've been collecting those for my son. I got the 2005 nickel series proofs, too, just cause they are special editions.
I don't expect any of them to ever be worth a whole lot, but they are actually pretty cool to look at. Proof coins are sooo shiny compared to the ones in circulation.

Every time I get that nickel, I have to laugh a little.. because the designer didn't notice, the guy who OK'ed the design didn't notice... hehe
people in Denver, Philadelphia, New York and San Francisco will always get new coins first seeing that the mints are located in those areas. most of the coins need to trickle out to other areas. outer cities wont get new coins until their current supply demands it. so a few months is about right.yellow said:
also you may have just overlooked them because you wern't expecting them.
Yeah - the "American Bison" one released earlier this year has been my favorite of the whole "Westward" series.
The 2006 "Return to Monticello" looks just plain fugly. I was kind of hoping the "American Bison" would become the new nickel, but oh well, it will spend just the same...

The San Francisco and West Point mints do not produce circulating coins...only Denver and Philadelphia...
