William Krawczewicz, who designed the MD coin in 2000 and now works at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, shares his thoughts on the voyage. -gIEbX3ea7M Report this Post to the Staff

shadz Pillar of the Community 1325 Posts	Posted 09/27/2015 8:53 pm What is the spacecraft even doing? Making 50 cent change on a Martian dollar? Does it matter the real coin is in space, since the radio waves of the television/satellite cable are well further than a ship could get now with the real coin. US Mint needs better videos. I have seen more info about them on How It Made, and learned more about it than ever in school. Thats a shame with all the info it could give at the cost of the mint hiring a small filing crew to take videos of more things that don't require over 9000 security clearance and your first-born son. (I really don't like the Maryland or Florida State Quarters, but good for this guy that designed it.) Report this Post to the Staff
