What LIVING person would you like to see on a U.S. Coin?

June Foray! One of America's greatest voice actors who gave us the voices of Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Natasha Fatale, Nell Fenwick, and a host of other cartoon characters that helped to make millions of kids' lives a little brighter. What a remarkable career she has had!

Lets be honest....this is a very trivial question because I cannot think of one person worth carrying the usa on their back...i vote for the person who finds a cure for cancer.

 

My vote is the boring "No Living Person"

That or Hank from King of the Hill lol

 

Marilyn Monroe

 

Dang, Les Paul and Chet Atkins have both passed away already. Hard question to answer for sure! I'll put on the thinking cap. :yes:

 

Peter from Family Guy

 

Somebody in Spain did that a few years ago. The piece is unique though.

How bout that Marine Sgt who just won the Medal of Honor? He was very humble, claimed he didn't deserve the award because he wasn't able to save all his guys. This after saving the lives of several of his fellow Marines.

In this day and age we need more recognition of true heroes like these. If we're going to put someone on a coin or stamp it should be someone like this rather than the celebrity du jour.

 

Dakota Meyer.

 

You mean, like this?

By the way, these were all actual proposed designs for the dollar coin that ultimately lost out to the Sacagawea design.

 

Its really sad that he died :/

 

he passed away though...

 

Antonio Banderas on the Obverse (himself) and some of his characters (Puss N Boots, Zorro) on the Reverse!

 

If only Steve were still alive...

 

Have to say, I cannot think of any live person that should adorn any of our coinage at present and you know something?

That is pretty sad if you think about it..

 

I was gonna say Johnny Cash but he's dead .. dangit !

Cannot come up with a living person .... no one is worthy.

 

No one should be worthy while they are alive. Not ever.

Too much like having a King or Emperor on our coinage, which is the basis which we founded our country against. While I would love great scientists/authors/statesmen/businessmen celebrated on our paper money, I wish our coinage be reserved for lady liberty.

 

I would like to see another Flowing Hair-type 18th century coin design personally ..

 

I think Wayne Newton would look AWESOME on a coin.... Hahaha!

 

'Place tongue in cheek' Sarah Palin, cause when that comes out people will be happy to use the Sacajawea coins. 'Retrieve tongue from cheek and apologize for wasting your time.'
