Our new Nickel is being released to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase. Thomas Jefferson will stay on the "heads" side. On the "tails" side, it has an image of an American shaking hands with a Frenchman.

Not very forward thinking of our friends at the U.S. Mint.

At least the French got the "ass end" of the deal, again. We clipped them on the original deal in the first place.
