[QUOTE="sesterce, post: 1326736, member: 32369"]How would you organize/design it? My setup would go something like this: One Cent-small copper colored coin, same size and millage as current coin. Shall be same in design as 1909 cent (wheat comes back) Five Cents-metal composition to be changed to bring melt value below face value. Shall bear the portrait of John Adams and a reverse of USS Constitution at sea. Ten Cents (Dime)-small coin, silver in color, same size and millage as current coin. Shall bear portrait of Liberty (in the style of the Mercury Dime). Twenty-Five Cents (Quarter Dollar)-silver in color, same size and millage as current coin. Shall bear portrait of George Washington. Fifty Cents (Half Dollar)-Larger than a quarter in diameter, silver in color, smaller in diameter than a current half dollar, pentagonal, not circular. Unmilled edge. Shall bear portrait of John F. Kennedy. One Dollar-Gold in color, same diameter, greater thickness than current coin. Milled edge with mint mark, date, and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” Shall bear portrait of Liberty and a reverse of the all seeing eye. Two Dollars and Fifty Cents-Silver in color, roughly same diameter as old Half Dollar, slightly thicker. Edge unmilled, with mint mark, date (in Roman Numerals), and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” Shall bear portrait of Liberty and a reverse of an American Eagle. The Following denominations of gradual length, but not height, increasing notes (like the Swiss Franc): $5-Shall bear portrait of Abraham Lincoln $10-Shall bear portrait of Alexander Hamilton $25-Shall bear portrait of Theodore Roosevelt $50-Shall bear portrait of Martin Luther King, Jr. $100-Shall bear portrait of Benjamin Franklin $250-Shall bear portrait of Thomas Jefferson $1000-Shall bear portrait of Franklin D.
