Yeah, that's pretty breathtakingly awful looking.
What's next, Comic Sans? Hey, maybe we could pay Microsoft royalties for every penny we mint.

I wonder if people had a similar opinion of the wheat penny when it was first minted. Its deco font is definitely a product of its time.

I agree with you about the new penny. But I really like the new nickels. And some of the state quarters (Connecticut, for example) are beautiful.
