Animals (Flying Eagle), stylized figures of Liberty, and representative (symbolic) people are all acceptable. Not to some religious sects, Christian, Jewish and Islamic. Graven images, and all that. Many countries have no images on their coins, just numbers and letters.......

They need to just go ahead and drop the penny and nickel. The minimum wage is around a dime a minute. Why mint coins smaller than that?

“no state shall make anything but Gold and Silver COIN a LEGAL TENDER in payment of debt”FedGov isn't a STATE. And FedReserve certainly isn't a STATE.
