<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 686101, member: 12789&quot;]They just shouldn&#039;t happen, period.&nbsp; The US Mint has been an underwhelming lackluster performer as far as turning out original and attractive designs.&nbsp; They have gotten so bad in fact that they now have to re-hash 100+ year old designs like the WL Half, the reverse of the Morgan dollar and the Liberty $5, the Buffalo nickel twice over, then the UHR Saint thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>What they need is not to re-hash old designs but come up with something that people will want, and pay money for, so we won&#039;t look to Mexico or China to produce attractive, sometimes even cute coin designs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Quite bluntly the Mexican 5 Onzas is a very attractive coin with a design that would never ever go over with the US Mint.&nbsp; I also like the Panda coins, China has a winner with those, and they change the designs all the time, so no two years are the same.&nbsp; My kids all like the Panda rounds, but could quite frankly care less about the ASE&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>They also need to get away from this dime store design garbage with all this presidential, state, territories, colonial possessions, state park nonsense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
