What are your ideas for a commemorative coin design. A person, place, thing, or event? I think there should be education commemorative coins. Maybe with designs similar to the educational notes. What design would you like to see?

I mentioned it on your classic thread. A 2016 mercury and standing liberty design copy for a commemorative dollar.

I think it would be nice to see an American music comm. Maybe Satchmo or one of the old Delta Bluesmen....That would be cool..IMO!

Another rendition of this in a dollar would be nice too.  Or better yet seeing a 2015 Panama Pacific octagonal gold, that would be stellar. |

I like the Mark Twain and MLK ideas.
Some other considerations:
*50th-anniversary of JFK death
*Red Cross
*Albert Einstein

I would like to see a coin commemorating the Barbary Wars. Sure they were minor and the U.S. wasn't the one that finally broke their power, but it was an important early War that has been largly forgotten.

I hear you on that one jbuck, I should have maybe worded it better...it could be a commemorative for the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy half and a memorial type of thing.... |

No problem, but the obvious solution is to have a Kennedy Commemorative in 2017.  |

Technically, my beloved Eisenhower dollar has that one covered. However, it is still a good idea for 2019.  |

A relevant (unlike the politically "correct" one the mint issued) 9-11 commemorative. The Pearl harbor coins in the past had pics of the battle to NOT give people a warm, fuzzy feeling; but the designs slaps the viewer in the face to remind them that real Americans were killed who were working to preserve all of our freedoms. The same should be done for 9-11. The famous pic of the hit twin towers, before the first one collapsed, should be the main focus. Softening the hard truth of what happened is a dishonor to those who lost their lives and who are still living while feeling the loss of loved ones. If I had the ability, I would be issuing one! I agree with the Moon landing also. A good silver or gold commemorative. A joint effort between the US and Canada for a "Friendship" medal. Our two countries share a unique bond of friendship unlike any other. We have both benefited from this over the years. It would be an interesting thing to try and design since the RCM is required by law to put the Queen on every coin they make - but I am sure that designers could come up with something. Something like the "United We Stand" T-shirts etc. (featuring the US and Canadian flags together) I saw sold in Canada after the 9-11 incident (yes my wife and I both got one). Fall of communism medal commemorating the Fall of the Berlin Wall. One side being a pic of the Constitution with the mottos of "Freedom and Justice For All," and "All Men Are Created Equal." Not sure of the other side - maybe President Reagan at the wall with his famous saying. Space Shuttle program heralding the ingenuity of the US making the 1st re-usaeble spacecraft. Navaho Indian commemorative for their part in WWII. Google "Wind Talkers." Tuskegee airmen. |
