Actually I think the future will be coinless. The only paying methods will be cards, chips or some other boring ****. But if the alternative is colored coins I will embrace what ever they come up with.

 

I have no problem with colorized commemorative coins. If the US mint produced a colorized coin that looked nice...like that Canadian bullion piece, I wouldn't be opposed. I don't see it becoming common on circulating coins (I just don't think it would look good because of wear)...but on commemoratives, why not. I wouldn't want all our commemorative coins in color as I like the classic colorless look, but for some of them, I see no harm as long as it is done tastefully.

 

This is only the case for the original Poppy quarter. The Pink Ribbon quarter still circulates quite a bit and I've yet to see one with anything more than very minimal wear. I must admit, though, that if the Canadian mint does the colourized quarter too often, then it will lose it's appeal. I think they just wanted a second chance at the poppy.

 

Washington quarters were frequently found in circulation with red nail polish on the obverse. Does anyone remember them & why were they circulated?

OK this is before my time so your going to have to fill in the lore on this.

Rather than speculate, I'll let you pontificate.

I think its in my profile

 

I think that since we all will never agree on colorized coins, I think this thread should be closed and made into a poll. What do you think?

 

I don't know about closing the thread, but feel free to start a poll yourself. I'll be glad to vote on it.

 

We had a similar thing over here in a couple of bars I worked in many years back I allways made sure I picked the music though LOL

 

Join a forum and ask who liked Painted Currency and Coins! Do you prefer acrylic or oils?

Ruben

 

Oils. But on canvas, not coins

 

is that with a manhattan or a martini?

 

I have found a black and white one in circulation. They were both from the 70's.
I actually remember reading about that in a coin magazine.

 

Just an aside, but how do the colored coins hold up in circulation? How quickly does the color wear off?

 

Nail polish is incredibly resilient
