Another new US Dollar coin series in 2019?

The CCAC is apparently going to try again on Sept. 27 to arrive at a design for the American Innovation 2018 introductory dollar coin. The link below mentions that they are going to review "revised designs".

In early Sept. the mint put out a call for new artists for their Artistic Infusion Program, so maybe some new artists will result in some better designs to choose from this time.

The mint has come up with 12 new obverse designs and 14 new reverse designs for the 2018 introductory dollar coin and presented them to the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) for their review on Sept. 20. The CFA especially liked 2 of the obverse designs and one of the reverses. All of these designs will be reviewed by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) on Sept. 27 and hopefully they will find these more to their liking than the first group, which they totally rejected on July 31.

Does the article list a link to a site that has images of the new designs? For some reason my computer will not display links to Coin World articles.

 

I don't think you're really missing anything.

 

Yes, but I'm missing a chance to criticize.

 

@Conder101 This image was in the article. Can't find a link yet for you.


The Commission of Fine Arts favored two Statue of Liberty designs as possibilities for the obverse of the 2018 American Innovation dollar and a single reverse. The design themes are mandated under provisions of the authorizing legislation.

The CFA hasn't published the meeting minutes yet.

Please, please, PLEASE spell out ONE DOLLAR. I hate these Chuck-E-Cheese tokens with numeric denominations!

 

And yet you use one as your avatar. But considering that US coins are quite verbose anyway, it would make sense to use words instead of currency symbols and digits ...

By law, they can't spell out "One Dollar"

The obverse and reverse designs for the inaugural 2018 coin are mandated under provisions of the authorizing legislation for the 14-year program, the American Innovation $1 Coin Act, Public Law 116-197. The obverse must feature “a likeness of the Statue of Liberty extending to the rim of the coin and large enough to provide a dramatic representation of Liberty,” and include the denomination rendered as $1 and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. The reverse has to include a facsimile of George Washington’s signature as it appears on the first U.S. patent issued in 1790.

 

If they spelled out ONE DOLLAR how many people wouldn't know the value. We have a lot of people that can only use digits in this country.

 

But the $1 coin is the only denomination in the US that indicates its value in digits, and that one rarely occurs in circulation. For all others issued these days, words are used.

I run into people all the time that can't tell a nickel from a quarter.

 

And toes too........

 

Only if over 10.

 

Those are crack heads

 

Now why is that. Any ideas

 

Now why is what? Why is the dollar coin the only one with the denomination in digits? Why does the dollar coin seldom appear in circulation? Or why do the other denominations use words?

 

At the link below are all 12 of the newly proposed obverse designs and all 14 reverse designs for the 2018 introductory innovation dollar coin. The CCAC was supposed to be reviewing them today but haven't heard yet if they came to any conclusions.
