I believe the best design work currently minted in this country is not being done at the U.S. Mint. Here are examples of one reason for this belief - Daniel Carr's Nikola Tesla Sesquicentennial Commemorative, in brass and silver. Each is one of 54 struck. As of this posting, a few are still available, here:

I love Dan's stuff. He's also a very nice, personable guy. He deserves to be hired by the Mint.

Nah, the Mint would ruin him. "No, no, NO Dan, that shows too much imagination and creativity. This is supposed to be a US COIN. That means dull, boring, repetitive, with two dimensional relief."

Just did a Google on Nikola Tesla and came up with this banknote.
Check out the denomination.
