<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1117103, member: 19065&quot;]The actual coins will not support as much detail as are shown/offered in these illustrations. The structural columns &#039;tridents&#039; of the Towers look like <i>tuning forks</i> in these renderings or they are just too bulky in coin design. I&#039;m curious how the &#039;black&#039; tridents design (R-11) was proposed for the finished coin-- paint/enamel, proof finish... The Memorial shown on the commemorative seems a bit odd for something being built in memorial at this time and for future completion. Its a place/space that most are not yet familiar with from personal experience and seems odd to attempt artistic rendering of now. An artist/designer should know a place not just base it on architectural design schematics for inspiration. All of the numbers on these designs (statistics) seem irrelevant to the human tragedy and I would prefer them gone or down played as design elements, but of course never forgotten. I&#039;m not crazy about the &#039;strength&#039; symbol of the eagle employed on the commemorative. Anything implying &#039;stripes&#039; from the US flag seems too overly American-patriotic when the events of that day affected, many, if not all peoples of the world, directly or indirectly. The acorn symbol seems like it could lend itself to the least insensitive design element above many others. Reminds me of the &#039;60s peace movement sending acorns to world leaders and planting seeds for peace. Just my two cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
