If they want to have contrasting colors, they should do it tastefully by using different metals, alloys, and a combination of both to produce varying colors, and not resort to tacky looking paint jobs. They must have some idea that most collectors don't buy colored coins, and that the public could care less so long as it's spendable.

If they were done with different metals or things like that, then I don't have a problem with it. I would actually say it's pretty cool....there are a lot of metals out there that could be utilized for coinage, but as of yet is not. __________________ Billy Kingsley Member ANA, SPMC I don't care about a coin or note's "value" or material composition.

Those who do, will pay exorbitant prices for colorful trinkets of no lasting value. These are the same folks who buy “ballistic rolls,” gold foil wrapped nickels, Lincoln cents with state outlines stamped on them, gold plated state quarters, and the like. They will enjoy them for a while, then lose interest. When they try to sell they will be disappointed to learn the trinkets are worth face value, possibly less, and blame coin collectors for “cheating” them. If you like them, then enjoy them for what they are.   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
