<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1568920, member: 26302&quot;]I always had a similar idea, but not the same. I always thought they should simply do collector sets of current coins, but in off metal and other novelty ways. Just take the cent. I think a presentation box with aluminum, bronze, brass, nickel cents, and maybe a large piece of bronze in the center about the size of a credit card with 4 die impressions of the cent into it, (something like swedish plate money), would be a fantastic centerpiece to a collection. Since they are just cents and cheap metals, the cost to the mint would be around $1 plus packaging, and if they sold it for $50 I would about guarantee a sellout of 100,000 units.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess what I am saying is while the OP&#039;s idea is good, (although personally I DETEST the mint using old designs, they should be held accountable and be forced to create new designs worthy of our country&#039;s heritage),&nbsp; I think there may be more resistance to digging up old designs. I think that if they simply did a lot more, (like trial strikes I describe, pieforts, etc), with current designs they could create the same buzz even with our current ugly designs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
