WTF? When did this happen?
Washington, D.C. — (11/06/03)-- After 65 years, the American nickel is getting its first makeover. But you'll have to flip it over to see a difference.
Thomas Jefferson's face will still be on the front. But the back will be different. Instead of Jefferson's home, Monticello, it will depict scenes from the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis-and-Clark expedition to commemorate their bicentennials.
Jefferson arranged the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the United States. He also was the force behind the expedition by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to the Pacific coast and back.
The U.S. Mint, which makes the nation's coins, unveils the new look today.
