<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhoggman, post: 403286, member: 13987&quot;]I hate to say it, but I think our modern coins are so devoid of artistic beauty that is is shameful. There were a few nice state quarters, buy in large I am unimpressed. </p><p>It&#039;s almost as if crappy uninspiring sketches are the new standard for our coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Where has lady liberty gone to? I guess she graces the presidential dollars, but I would like to see more Great American Ideals themed coins instead of all this hogwash that is coming out. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not that Licoln&#039;s boyhood cabin isn&#039;t neat, but what about symbolisms of freedom, liberty, patriotism, revolution.....??</p><p><br /></p><p>Same with the new Sacajawea designs. Is she planting corn??? Pottery??? 3 unnamed faces??? Why not use the likeness of Sacajawea as Lady Liberty w/ an Indian theme instead of some Disney looking character, and then on the reverse have something like an American themed cornucopia </p><p>depicting the land of plenty.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I am just spouting, but it seems to me the the stories behind the art are bland or are told in a text book. I want something more interesting... A read between the lines type of artistic meaning that makes things art truly special and interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
