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.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 11/24/2021 9:16 pm Thanks Commems - (I finally just got around to photographing them for my album).. One thing I certain of, Just like in the older topic - I think it was poorly executed. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 11/24/2021 9:24 pm 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. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12813 Posts	Posted 11/28/2021 9:51 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

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...
