The rotated orientation enables the depiction of the TV screen showing the early video game ("Handball") to be in the proper orientation (as seen on a TV screen) when the coin is flipped between obverse and reverse in the normal way.

I actually like it. Much more than I expected, but I have generally like the Innovation dollars. I just don't like dead presidents on coins.

The AI series is growing on me too; I'm glad I started at the beginning.

And the NH issue is a huge departure from anything we've ever seen on a US coin (at least, that I can remember). For that reason and several others, I like it.

I have to agree, the more I look at the designs the more I like them. I'm having second thoughts on skipping this series...

I am getting more excited about them and cannot wait to get them into an album. For now they rest in their OGP.
