Default Trivia question

An easy one, straight from the pages of Numismatic News and Alan Hebert's
column.

By law, all U. S. regular circulation coins with a value above 25c must have
an eagle on the reverse. The state quarters are an obvious exception. Can
you name other recent exceptions?

Bicentennial coinage is all I can think of.

Ok, let's rephrase that. "By law, all U. S. regular circulation coins with
a value of 25c and above must have an eagle on the reverse. The state
quarters are an obvious exception. Can you name other recent exceptions?"

If you consider 30 years ago as 'recent' then the 1776-1976 bicentennial coins
would fit the description.

1) Commemoratives.
2) any coin Congress wishes to exclude.
