The most logical cartoon character for a gold coin is...

Walt Disney's Scrooge McDuck!

I believe the gold coin will have a few different characters on it.

True that, they need fresh blood because alot of the old hand collectors are tiring from coin fatigue.

They interesting, but according to "no cash value" they are rounds.

These are the coins:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Niue-Island-...em2a36cd4d90

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Niue-2013-1-...em2a3f834c34

Nothing special, and if they will be again in the simple "painted" format, they'll continue recent "Disney Coins" way.

But the gold one, if the mintage will be limited enough and the price affordable - could be popular (for some period).

Didn't the US Mint issue a half dollar showing Benjamin Franklin as Bugs Bunny back in 1956?

Wait a min! Where would these toons be without Mel Blanc, The Man of 1000 Voices .

I would think Mel should have his own coin , say a 300 mintage Gold Coin.

Thanks Silveroid - interesting batch of Nuie looney tunes...if this rumour materializes...and RCM does in fact pump out several coloured painted coins - of Bugs bunny etc...my estimate would put the demand for this "novelty-type" coin(s) would fall well below the 2014 superman series...and likely to be a low mintage gold...to drum up some buyer buzz...
The 2013 Superman series will be very hard to replicate in quality, packaging and demand...for such comic cartoon themes...
I could see a 4 coin set with 6000 mintage max.

Too many political connotations and too many choices too little money.

I actually had that same thought - how about a three coin set to include Chuck Jones ans Friz Freleng, too? The problem is, many fans of Looney Tunes characters know and care very little about the creative genioses behind the cartoons, and thus the marketability of anything honoring them would be close to nil, I'm afraid.
