Head I Win. Tails You Win. The Eyes Light on the Head of a Colonial Drummer. Did You Win or Lose the Toss? You Won! That Head is Really a Tail. You Can Take the Word of Mary Brooks, Director of the U.S. Mint. She's Our Nation's Coinmaker and Says the Colonial Drummer Was Cosen in a National Design Competition to Appear on the Back of the New Bicentennial Quarter. George Washington, She Insists, Still Heads the Coin over a New Date-1776-1976-and it Was All Done to Celebrate Our Country's 200th Birthday. "I Know Big Decisions, like Whether or Not to Walk the Dog in the Rain, Rest on the Flip of a Coin," Mrs. Brooks Says, "and I Want to Warn the Nation's Big Decision Makers About the Coming Big Change in Their Small Change." In All, the Mint is Changing the Designs on the Backs of Three Coins in Honor the the Bicentennial. Along with Washington on the Quarter, Those Famous Faces of Kennedy and Eisenhower, with the New Twin Date, Still Head the Half Dollar and Dollar. Again, It's the Backs That Carry the New Bicentennial Designs. Independence Hall Won Its Place on the Back of the Half Dollar. and the Moon and Liberty Bell Was Chosen for the Dollar Reverse. by July 7, 1975, Your Friendly Neighborhood Bank Should Begin Receiving the First of the Circulating Bicentennial Coins to be Released-the Kennedy-Independence Hall Half Dollar. before the End of the Year, the Federal Reserve System Will Have Had the Time to Supply the Nation's Commercial Banks with the Newly-Redesigned Quarter and Dollar. "To Me, These Coins-like All Our Coins-Are Symbols of Our Nation's 200 Years of Freedom," Mrs. Brooks Says. "They Are Small Links with Our Historical and Cultural Heritage That Will Touch the Hands of Every Man, Woman and Child in America." [news] Stockholders Meet-Klukwan Village Corp.
