The 2010 Native American Dollar.....

The only problem I forsee is the fact that the one with the arrows doesn't have an eagle in the design. By law, that would mean they'd have to have a new obverse design including an eagle somewhere. I just wish they would come up with a bi-metal coin

If this is true, how do you explain the absence of an eagle on this years coin?

 

Yeah, Pres. dollars too....

 

No eagle this year & as far as bi-metal the 2009 is a composition of 77% copper, 12% zinc, 7% manganese & 4% nickel , and the 2010 will be a composition of 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese & 2% nickel

Thanks greeny, so much to learn :headbang: dd: :rolling:

 

i like the arrow one.

 

I prefer, by default, the arrows/belt design because it appears the trees are not designed well enough to be 'iconic' and also the eagles are simply lost in these designs. The 'belt' in the upper left design is also undefined. These are lost design opportunities which seem to have hoped to include natural objects (trees) as a defining, symbolic device. I appreciate the attempt at including sacred natural elements in the design. However, in this case, the arrows and belt are much more dynamic and symbolic. I also like the inclusion of the device 'HAUDENOSAUNEE' on US coin.

 

Ditto krispy , very well thought out design and execution of the smybols :thumb:

 

I agree, that is a great looking design.

 

I believe the NA-05 will be a huge winner , can't wait too see it ; )
