If you're talking about the one of his face in a slightly 3d picture, then yeah, I've seen them. They have been out for quite a while, a couple of months.

This has been around for awhile, hasn't it? The "Manifest Destiny" series, although I'm still waiting on the Trail Of Tears one.

The one with the buffalo is weird. Was it really necessary to make the buffalo anatomically accurate?

Why not? I do not understand why you are concerned.

I guess if I was making an engraving for the back of a coin, the buffalo's gender would never even cross my mind let alone remembering to add in his penis.

Have you ever seen a Buffalo in person? That is actually a tuft of hair that hangs off their belly, male or female.

Also, how long before someone comes up with some bull$hit about how Lewis and Clark raped indians and were otherwise bad people and lobby to have the Nickel changed? Give it time, the morons will find something wrong with it....

I confess, I have never seen an actual buffalo, but the feature on the coin doesn't look like anything I would describe as a "tuft." :)

The westward expansion series has been in production for 1-2 years now, and aside from my sardonic manifest destiny jokes, I've never actually heard anybody complain about them.
