[QUOTE="NeonBlurb, post: 2320501, member: 74855"]You want to redesign/overhaul US coinage? Here's my idea for US coinage. (This idea won't be accepted, not in a million years) Get rid of the cent, the nickel, the quarter (yep), and the one dollar coin. Also, get rid of the $1.00, $2.00, $5.00, $10.00, and $50.00 paper/rag bills. US Coinage should consist of the following: Dime (worth $0.10) Stick with current size and cupronickel clad composition (this will be the smallest denomination) Half dollar (worth $0.50) Downsize from current dimensions to a reeded edge coin with a clad composition of 21mm diameter Two and a half dollar coin (worth $2.50) This coin should be a toothed edge cupronickel coin with a bronze plug of 27mm diameter Ten dollar coin (worth $10.00) This coin should be a CP grade titanium coin with a constellation of ceramic plugs and tooled edge to minimize counterfeiting, diameter 30mm Paper/rag/plastic bills will have three denominations: $20.00, $100.00, and $1000.00 Remove all depictions of actual people from all coins and notes. The scene/design on each coin or note will be created by a single artist. No design by committee. Anyone can submit a design for a coin. Designs will be voted on by all US citizens. Designs will be changed every five years.[/QUOTE]
