OT: the new Jefferson/buffalo nickel

For US listers: find one, and take a good look at that bovine. Would that be a male???

Someone told me that there's a recall out on this coin. Dunno if that's a legend or not.

yes, of course. would you expect the US Mint to portray a female? ;) if you look at the old Buffalo nickels, you can see they were also males.

i would imagine it's a legend. it's part of a series of nickels commemorating Jefferson and Lewis & Clark, so they are a somewhat "limited edition". why did this person think there was a 'recall'? here's info on the new nickel series:

Urban legend. But it made for a nice story in our telephone staff meeting.
