<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2074725, member: 19065&quot;]I agree. I&#039;m not a fan of the $75 denomination. Using the $75 denomination is just an excuse to mint something to sell to collectors as a profit maker for the GAO. I guess that&#039;s good, but it doesn&#039;t justify the existence as currency needs. I like some of the designs, though I always dislike the two dimensional cartoon-ish renderings of what will become three dimensional struck coins. I think they should never choose a coin design before they see full dimensional examples of the finished design, the way old coins were prepared in bass relief sculpted plaster. What with the available technology of 3-D printing now, they should be able to define the proposed designs, before officially selecting the designs, and judge according to dimensional maquettes as does almost every other industy, particularly industrial design.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similar ideas a few years ago were proposed for creating the $25 palladium eagle coins, but those never came to be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
