<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2132697, member: 16729&quot;]Chain of little people... anonymous, faceless, cookie-cutter... I wanted to say worse things than that, but really that design feature&#039;s main problem is that it seems a little lacking in originality (understatement of the century).&nbsp; If a First Grade classroom cuts those out from paper to convey a sense of togetherness in their classroom they can be forgiven.&nbsp; But put on a coin by a national mint from Europe...?</p><p><br /></p><p>I know some of us have some have some pretty strong opinions on coin design (it must be obvious that I do, too), so I won&#039;t say much more about how much I really do NOT like &quot;balloons and happy thoughts&quot; coin designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, <b>joy</b> is good.&nbsp; Like the dancing couple, if the design is rendered well enough, and makes you think, &quot;I want to be there&quot;...&nbsp; That shows potential, for my liking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, each to his own.</p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to contemporary aesthetics, I know that I&#039;m not really &quot;with-it&quot;, but whatever happened to coin designs like this (below)?&nbsp; Okay, this is an extreme example, perhaps!:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]406319[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
