Why is the reference to the devaluation roosevelt dimes in 1965 given such a short mention?? The fact is that dimes used to be worth something when they were 90% silver. As of 9/25/09 dimes are only worth 1.5 cents in actual value. This encyclopedia is supposed to be here to inform and educate the public. Omitting important information like this makes me wonder about the loyalties of those who write these articles. (unsigned post from 2009)
Though the section acknowledges that the obverse (front) has undergone some minor changes like Roosevelt's hair, the U.S. Mint (and several coin guide publications) has stated that the size of the bust/portrait has also changed over the years due to production techniques. These are not minor size changes since they can be easily seen when holding dimes together that have the different size busts/portraits.
I think it would enhance the section (and the entire article/entry) if photos/pics of these varying bust/portrait sizes were included.
Also, isn't rather interesting that the Roosevelt dime has NEVER been used as a platform for ANY special issues that were released to the general public like all the other coins. (2009 Lincoln penny reverse, four different designs, 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth; 2004/2005 Jefferson nickel, one new obverse, four different reverses, 200th anniversary of Lewis & Clark's exploration of the Louisiana Purchase; 1975/1976 Washington quarter & Kennedy half & Eisenhower dollar, new reverses each, American Bicentennial; 1999-2021 Washington quarter, ONE HUNDRED TWELVE different reverses, State Quarters and State Parks programs.) Just sayin'. 2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 ( talk) 01:30, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

To add to this article: the material the models were made from. 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 23:55, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
The true designer of the dime was Dr. Selma Burke, an artist who had sculpted the original facial design. John Sinnock had taken the design and plagiarized it, and had been known for stealing various other titles from other works of arts. Please correct the misinformation with the designer name. 2600:1700:1890:FE60:E096:FD8B:26FA:8459 ( talk) 01:29, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
