I like minimalism too I generally prefer coins with something interesting, but minimalism is better than an overcrowded design... take, for instance, the Florida Statehood Quarter dollar. Quote:
Any american quarter between 1965-1998. I agree that the Washington quarter dollar is not the most beautiful of coins. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've always thought the eagle's body looked just a bit misshapen. By the way, this would also apply to 1932-64, but at least those ones have silver content.

Of the coins I have pictures of, I think this one has the least interesting design: German States / Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach -- 1792 3 pfennig:   |

That one's kind of neat, but it is very simple.

I kind of like the Estonian euro coins :)
There are - for me - others, much worse, uninspired designs out there ... From the top of my head, almost all circulating post WW2 Yugoslavia coins. My mind just starts to produce white noise, when I'm dealing with those :p

I think the Jefferson nickel 1938-2004 is boring. Though I also think the new design is also boring and uninspiring. Now if the original obverse and the bison reverse were kept.... I also dislike the fact a lot of coins now are low relief. I think that in itself takes away the character of the coin. I would gladly accept the Washington quarters with the eagle rather than all these rotating designs on them now.  Edited by TheForce

I don't mind the earlier Jeff nickels, but the 2005-present ones just don't do it for me. The 3/4 view gives the impression that the designer was trying too hard to make it look artistic, when in fact it just makes it look less like a coin.

I like the rev design of the Washington quarter especially in proof personally. The eagle design is very noble imho and the proof finish makes it jump with the bold, defined feathers |

Wait....what!? The spaghetti hair RULED!! The ATB coins are too flat for my personal tastes. Just wait till they are heavily circulated. Hip hip hooray for Washington quarters (1932-1998)!! |

Denmark's Commemorative issue celebrating High School Shop Courses.  JimBucks' Swedish plate money is the best though. It looks like one of my auto body projects. (That I learned in a high school shop course.) |

 Seriously, a square coin? What's up with that? Jamming coin counters? And that modern art on the reverse looks sort of like a map of the Bermuda triangle . . . On the plus side, these are super easy to pick out of a massive 4-for-a-dollar tub. And there is a nice long date run, with some challenging low mintage years. Bus still, b-0-r-I-n-G. |
