What old coin design would you like to see minted if you had your pick?
I would say a bust dime, I have always liked that design

Seeing shiny new mercs in my change would be cool too.

Walking Liberty Quarter? Do you mean the Standing Liberty Quarter or do you mean the Walking Liberty Half? If the latter, then the obverse is used on the Silver Eagle dollar currently. Personally, I would love to see the Draped Bust heraldic half dollar obverse.
 

There is always talk about getting rid of the penny, how about bringing back the 2 cent piece then, I think it's pretty cool.
 

No , I was talking about a Walking Liberty quarter ........ new coin , new denomination , lol

HI, how about the coinage used by the US until the 1900's ? 1` 1/2 " in diameter.

I just think that leaving the presidents on the coins forever is just a bad idea.....

Lincoln - 99 years
Jefferson - 70 years
Roosevelt - 52 years
Washington - 76 years
Kennedy - 44 years

Aren't there any other Americans worthy of being honored on coinage?

Yeah that's a good one, like on a 20 cent piece.
