I like the Mark Twain and MLK ideas.
Some other considerations:
*50th-anniversary of JFK death
*Red Cross
*Albert Einstein

I would like to see a coin commemorating the Barbary Wars. Sure they were minor and the U.S. wasn't the one that finally broke their power, but it was an important early War that has been largly forgotten.

I hear you on that one jbuck, I should have maybe worded it better...it could be a commemorative for the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy half and a memorial type of thing.... |

No problem, but the obvious solution is to have a Kennedy Commemorative in 2017.  |

Technically, my beloved Eisenhower dollar has that one covered. However, it is still a good idea for 2019.  |

A relevant (unlike the politically "correct" one the mint issued) 9-11 commemorative. The Pearl harbor coins in the past had pics of the battle to NOT give people a warm, fuzzy feeling; but the designs slaps the viewer in the face to remind them that real Americans were killed who were working to preserve all of our freedoms. The same should be done for 9-11. The famous pic of the hit twin towers, before the first one collapsed, should be the main focus. Softening the hard truth of what happened is a dishonor to those who lost their lives and who are still living while feeling the loss of loved ones. If I had the ability, I would be issuing one! I agree with the Moon landing also. A good silver or gold commemorative. A joint effort between the US and Canada for a "Friendship" medal. Our two countries share a unique bond of friendship unlike any other. We have both benefited from this over the years. It would be an interesting thing to try and design since the RCM is required by law to put the Queen on every coin they make - but I am sure that designers could come up with something. Something like the "United We Stand" T-shirts etc. (featuring the US and Canadian flags together) I saw sold in Canada after the 9-11 incident (yes my wife and I both got one). Fall of communism medal commemorating the Fall of the Berlin Wall. One side being a pic of the Constitution with the mottos of "Freedom and Justice For All," and "All Men Are Created Equal." Not sure of the other side - maybe President Reagan at the wall with his famous saying. Space Shuttle program heralding the ingenuity of the US making the 1st re-usaeble spacecraft. Navaho Indian commemorative for their part in WWII. Google "Wind Talkers." Tuskegee airmen. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Remember the 82 Washington? I do. I have both uncirculated and proof, bought direct from the mint (my very first mint purchase, along with that year's proof set). I would like to see a Kennedy Coin and Chronicles set with a commemorative dollar and one each matte proof, clad proof, and silver proof half dollars. It can have uncirculated P & D coins as well, but I won't push my luck.  |

I think a coin commemorating a current endangered species perhaps by state. This could help raise awareness and at the same time raise funds to circumvent the loss of these animals.
