    I'd make all coins have something that commemorates people, places, items, etc. as to an area, town, city and/or some location. For example there would be an Al Capone coin for Chicago with a Thomson Sub machine gun on the reverse. There would be race car coins for the NASCAR people to use and/save. There would be Ford coin to remember the first assembly line cars and the people that worked there standing in the unemployment lines now. The State Quarters would all be remade with the State Bird on the obverse now. Naturally many coins would have either Elvis Presley or George Foreman on them. Of course we could have coins with a mushroom cloud for the A-Bomb. Just so many ideas to make coins interesting.

    Personally, I'm disappointed that one of the four comms for the 2009 Lincoln will not be a recreation of the original VDB cent. Can you imagine the scramble for the 2009 S VDB and then the TV shysters hawking a recreation of the 1909 S VDB along with a limited edition commemorative from the 2009 San Franscisco Mint? Yours for only... Available in four credit card payments of only... Actually I was serious about a real 2009 S VDB cent until I thought of those freaks and wanted to barf!

    Back on Topic though...I'd design a coin for BOWLING...since they are prejudice against that sport and have yet to design a coin for it.
