<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 677536, member: 6370&quot;]Negativity? Step aside. I dislike most contemporary coinage. Most new US coins are low relief, ugly and cheap. Euros remind me of cheap tokens as do most other nations coinage. I like classic coins but even there, the US has fallen short and have what I feel to be some of the least interesting, least original designs....most are just borrow old tired concepts, the only ones I believe are attractive and interesting (and unique to america) are the IHC and the Buffalo nickels (maybe a few others). In general, most US coins are ugly, uninspired and the modern ones are cheap and ugly...most modern world coins are the same...ugly and cheap. Even if they have a nice design (which most Euros and US coins do not) the cheap modern method of minting in super low relief makes them look and feel like cheap tokens. Certainly our money barely stands up in quality to jetons and tokens of old...in fact I find even old jetons and tokens to be of better design and quality...hell...even old play money is more interesting and better crafted. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hell, I have no problem with putting our past leaders on coins. Certainly having the mug of a king, emperor, historical leader, or person of note has never stopped me from collecting a coin, in fact it often makes the coin that much more interesting in historical standards (I like portraits)...Or maybe people are okay with those sent to rule us by god, just not those elected by the people <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />...its just the low quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
