CT Members Let's redesign the US Coinage

Send a letter like this to your local congressman/woman

Next let's cross our fingers and begin designing new circulating coins.
Post your designs here, we will (once we get enough congress representatives backing us) perform a poll voting on the best designs and send them to our local representative.

VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you get a response from your local congress representative, post it in this thread.

The worst that will happen is a "NO" and a bunch of cool new designs for coinage

What do ya say, are you in??

Understood Jim can you provide me some examples of what they said, and when?

I still will support this attempt who else is with me

 

I'm in. Will send out a letter tomorrow.

 

Excellent CM1, you can also email them if it is easier for ya!

 

Here is the petetion: Don't forget to sign the petition as it will greatly benefit our cause

 

Please also promote the petition on your social networking website of choice, if we get enough signatures we might get this to pass.

And more importantly if you have any suggestions feel free to post them here

 

I applaud the effort you have put forth in this regard. I have to think on this before putting my name to it. I'm somewhat ambivalent at this time. Is this not why we have the citizens advisory panel ? I think we need to do what needs to be done, to get them to do the duty they are charged with, and to also let them know our dissatisfaction with their work.http://www.ccac.gov/aboutUs/bio_bolgerDoreen.cfm

 

Link please I googled citizens Advisory Panel and nothing but local city's CAP

 

It's the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee. You should be able to find some news on the Mint's website about the panel.http://www.ccac.gov/aboutUs/bio_bolgerDoreen.cfm

 

The CCAC is here link. I am in favor of the concept, but the CCAC exists already and the gov't listens to them despite the junk they consistently deliver. They collaborate with the CFA link to advise the Mint on what designs to use for new coinage.

 

Sound's like a deal.

 

Indeed, hopefully we will get more supporters for our cause. Only two signatures on the petition so far.

 

Let's get rid of the dead people on our money. Why can't we have things like the Educational Notes, Walker Halves, Mercs and the like. These were art you could carry in your pocket! I definitely don't like the current Jefferson on the nickel. He looks like lightning bolts are about to shoot from his eyes!

 

I'll vote for a Walker Half dollars and mercury dimes, in fact I'd be happy if the simply issued coins from 1960! Hell they can even remove the silver! I'm just sayin'!!

 

Hmm goes back to my original topic "What would it take to bring back the mercury dime"

 

The fact is that US and most of the world coins are designed by graphic artists who learn and study two dimention work in stead of sculpturers who mastered the art of making three dimention work !

 

Hey, I'm all about recycling, but I think someone in this country can come up with a fresh, new, exciting design. Heck, I bet someone who posts on Cointalk could come up with a worthy design for one of our denominations.
