I like the numeral instead of Lady Liberty, because no matter what they did with her design most of us would complain about it. Most would complain about the numeral as well. Complaining is what collectors do best  |

True, but hopefully in this case it would be generally limited to "I do not like numerals."  With Lady Liberty three different people will complain about her hair and how it could be better a certain way only to have the other two say that would make it worse.  I am pretty sure that is what is going to happen regarding placement of the eagle's wings.  |

One country did them for a little bit. (plastic coins) At least two countries have used plastic for circulation coins, and a third did for commemoratives. (and Missouri used it for their sales tax tokens which did circulate) |

Everything should just have a large western numeral (for the denomination) on the obverse, an eagle on the reverse, and the other required legends in their usual places. So, basically, something like the Shield nickel, except with an eagle instead of the shield? EDIT: Quote:

Well played, exactly my first thought. I think we can all agree no matter what people will complain, so keeping that in mind lets go for something truly beautiful and artistic like many coins around the world have accomplished. |

Sounds like a time to simplify and drop IGWT.

I too think by then all money systems will be one via plastic cards. I suspect that each person will have to have a card with different Presidents on them sort of like with coins. |

Plastic injection molding would be crazy but no crazier than previous us mint attempts for your viewing pleasure a link to the 1942 glass cent https://www.numismaticnews.net/arti...t-discoveredMy guess is if anything there may be another transitional composition change in the near future to use even cheaper base metals.
