Funny, I thought it would be reverse! (with Theamtics being the red-headed step child)

well our quarters will be thematic for years to come and if we kill the dollar bill so will our dollar coins this may hurt future collectors of cents and nickels and dimes by being too boring but may help our beloved commem series because of the variety of designs.

...do you think the new category would enhance the commemorative landscape? It sounds like there are discussions elsewhere and I am wondering what the effect of a new category would be on collecting.


I think that if the hobby agreed to a distinction that separated coins of a true commemorative nature from those that are simply of a thematic or topical design, it would enhance the standing of commemorative coins among collectors (new and old). I believe it would support the special nature of true commemorative coins and make them more appealing to a wider audience.

Just my opinion, of course...
