Thus, the series is a blast for me to collect and ponder at the artist&#039;s work. I feel that the APE are just as, if not more, spectacular than these coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>I feel most of our modern coins pretty much suck (for a lack of a better word); however, the APE seems to have a well thought out design every single year. Perhaps if we included designs like these on our circulating coins then they would become tolerable / more collectible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
