<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 1708629, member: 23368&quot;]I think many design issues, but not all, are not caused by lack of appreciation of artistic merit, but simply the need and limitations of operational needs. The mint prioritize&#039;s production first. Rather than slowing down the machinery and improving quality, which may be needed for more interesting designs, they reduce and simplify the detail and appearance of the coins instead. Then the general quality of their production is sacrificed through out. I would take just one mint and gear it towards the production of commemorative and special issue coinage. Perhaps even look at specialized equipment purchases to accomplish this. Let the others run the business and mass production sets for consuption. You would have two distinct design divisions at the mint, each with its own goals and production criteria.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
