<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bacchus, post: 60322, member: 759&quot;]A month or so back there was a column or letter in <i>Coin World </i>where the writer, a female in the medical field, proposed an interesting idea for coins.&nbsp; Essentially, each denomination would have a different theme.&nbsp; She suggested Presidents on one denomination, First Ladies for another, medical breakthroughs on another denomination, achievements in arts and sciences and literature and education on another denomination, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was hard to swallow her astonishing bias of giving medical achievements their own denomination and making every other niche share a denomination, but her overall idea was interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a starting point, and to try and improve on our current Presidents theme, I’m going to suggest the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>cents:&nbsp; American flowers and trees</p><p>nickels:&nbsp; American birds</p><p>dimes:&nbsp; American symbols (flag, liberty bell, Old Ironsides, etc.)</p><p>quarters:&nbsp; American animals (other than birds)&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>halves:&nbsp; American national parks</p><p>dollars:&nbsp; Founding Fathers and other heroes of the American Revolution</p><p>silver bullion:&nbsp; keep liberty theme</p><p>22K gold bullion:&nbsp; keep liberty theme</p><p>24K gold bullion:&nbsp; One Amendment from the Bill of Rights</p><p><br /></p><p>I would change the first five every five years, staggered one coin change per year.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I know this can be improved on; this is just a starting point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
