New nickel to be circulated

Northwestern Financial Review, May 15-May 31, 2003

The U.S. Mint has announced that new 5-cent coins will be issued for three years starting this year to recognize the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition. The nickel's current design was introduced 65 years ago. Images of the Louisiana Purchase, and Lewis and Clark's legendary trip across the West, will be shown on the "tails" side of the new coins.

The "heads" side will continue to carry President Jefferson's face to recognize his role in the purchase from the French and the commissioning of Lewis and Clark's journey.
