This month, the new nickels will debut. The coins will still feature the former Governor of Virginia and Third U.S. President Thomas Jefferson on the front. But the other side will feature the Jefferson Peace Medal.

This was a ceremonial medallion presented to Native American chiefs during treaty signings and other big pow-wows. It displays clasped hands and a peace pipe overlapping a hatchet.

That's right, the backs of U.S. nickels will feature (gasp) a weapon, and smoking. How long before the pleasure police get their panties in a bind over the new coins?
