I love all coins. There are a few I really don't like the designs of. The Presidential dollars reverses look like a cheap bus token to me. I think we could have had a better design. What do you think?
PS - sorry if you're the designer. You know what they say about opinions.

The design on this Sweden 1 krona is probably the design I like least.

Yes I dislike the obverse on the state hood quarters they are all seem to have a weak image of Washington

I hate the Dutch designs issued from 1982 until the introduction of the Euro. The smaller coins are OK, but the larger ones like the two-and-a-half guilder look really awful, especially when they have been in circulation for a few years:

The Belgian 5 francs issued from 1985-1993 was pretty awful too - it looks like some of those tokens you sometimes get for car washes or vending machines:


I'll put the Zambian 1966 penny third. OK, so it's got a hole, but surely they could have come up with something better than this!

All of my most hated coin designs have already been pictured ! ! !

But the Zambia Penny would have to take the cake; would have been better if it had been issued as a plain washer.

Our Susan B. Anthony dollar is just painful to look at.

The Anna May Wong quarter. I love Anna May Wong, but the quarter design is just a head and a hand-just downright creepy. I was bitterly disappointed by the design.

^ I never noticed how creepy it was. I dont believe the Jovita Idar Quarter has been released to I will save my opinion until I see one in-hand.
But I've never liked the Eisenhower dollar.
I've been collecting for a couple years (2017). Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set: "knowledge is power" -Thomas Jefferson | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better?

I'm not sure that a disembodied head resting on a disproportionately large disembodied hand makes for a good design, but just my opinion!

I also love the Anna May Wong Quarter, its very well done.
Especially in Silver



In terms of Ugly.

The Ben Franklin 50 cents is terrible.

The Ike dollar.

Any Barber coinage except for the V nickel

The latest nickels with Jefferson looking at you.

Pretty much all modern coinage with ugly old man on them

Never liked Franklins and Ikes.
That doesn't stop me from collecting them.

Zambia 'washer' far worse.
