It looks like Americans will have new coins jingling in their pockets as the new century begins.
The Senate has approved legislation for a gold-colored dollar coin and for quarters honoring the 50 states. A key subcommittee chairman said he expected House approval Wednesday or Thursday.
``This will be the largest change in coinage we've seen in a long time,'' said Rep. Michael Castle, R-Del., chairman of the House Banking monetary subcommittee.
The Senate, in passing the legislation by voice vote Sunday night, sidestepped a controversy over who or what should replace suffragist Susan B. Anthony on the face of the dollar coin. KEYWORDS: MONEY
