Is There A Coin Design You Hate?

It didn't take much imagination to come up with that.
Lets see - drop cloth on floor - Check
can if paint - check
toss open can of paint in air over drop cloth,
throw a few paper cutout of birds in the paint - Viola - a new coin design.

More for me then.

My only real gripe with them is edge lettering.

Datadragon, I have seen uninformed ebay sellers offer the Wampanoag Treaty Native American dollar as being from 1621, because that's the date which is clearly shown on the Reverse.

I thought the Susan B. Anthony coin was strange because the obverse and reverse have nothing to do with each other. Women's voting. also, moon eagle!

That Finnish coin is just brutal. If you have to explain what your art means, you have seriously blown it as an artist.

I have often thought that the original basic euro coins were a huge missed opportunity. Personalized countries was kinda cool, and the bi-metal coins catch the eye. But the lesser coins have utterly bland and forgettable designs with random lines and a very y2k aesthetic.

I agree with people about the State Quarters. Early on, I was pumped. Soon I was bored. And then came the endless slew of different themes. Reminded me a lot of the 1980s comic books and all the different lines and "collector editions", which initially provoked a frenzy of interest, that soon faded into obscurity. Also, Wyoming! Your quarter could have been cool, guys. But it looks like a placeholder while your engraver designed a real cowboy riding a bronco. Compare that to like Connecticut, which is instantly identifiable and super memorable.

Right, but that's a golden opportunity to make a constitutional reverse because SBA literally spearheaded the effort for a constitutional amendment. You can have an eagle on that, if you insist. But the moon? No.

Looks like it was due to Senator Jake Gam: Chief Engraver Gasparro expected the flying eagle reverse design to be with the new Susan B. Anthony dollar, but Senator Jake Garn had other ideas. A late amendment introduced by Utah Senator Jake Garn, who was the first sitting member of Congress to fly in space, changed the legislation to keep the old Apollo 11 design from the Eisenhower dollar. Which I guess I can understand wanting to keep, especially if you've flown into space before! Although this decision ended up affecting public reception of the new dollar as many people felt the pairing just didn't make sense. (Which I would agree with)...

Wholeheartedly agree. They literally took their license plate logo and slapped it on a quarter. The prominent designer initials make me chuckle. Whew! That was a lot of work!

Yes, it really is just their license plate.

The original "BH&R" logo was designed in 1935 by Allen T. True (of Littleton, Colorado - heh-heh) and first appeared on WY license plates in 1936. Maybe the designer initials on the coin should really be ATT? Given how defensive the above link seems to be about the state's trademark of that logo, I wonder if the US Mint had to pay Wyoming to use it on the coin.
