  • I am sure that Davis will promote the design of whoever donates the most money to his upcoming election.

    They should just pick a design with a long die crack going from the bottom to the top of the left side.

    How about an old-time movie camera aimed at the Golden Gate Bridge?

  • Irishmike - I laughed on this one as well! image


  • << <i>How about Mickey Mouse in a convertible, crossing the Golden Gate, chatting on a hands-free cell phone and holding a pickax? >>



    If they go with this design I won't stop until I have an ms69 example and a PR70DCAM!

  • I think CA should have the following:
    A goldminer squatting by the river siftting gold, (wearing a flat hat of course)....with the Golden Gate Bridge prominently centered in the Background, with The HOLLYWOOD HILL on the right......
    "That's All Folks", low tone, "Thank you very much",...... Bugs and Elvis have left the building image

    How about a bunch of people running across our border while INS agents look on and do nothing?

    Perhaps a picture of giant breasts with the letters XXX across them. After all we are the porn production capital of the world.

  • Seriously, how about a gold panner working a creek under a sequoia tree?

  • I thought all the coinage in the people's republic were required to have a hammer and sickle on the reverse?

  • Sorry, I didn't mean to insult the fine people of China, Cuba, Vietnam, or the former Soviet Union. image
  • With all the PC in Cali, I would bet that their design will be the worst yet.

    Farkin' Quarters (very funny)

  • Ok, here's my quick design. Only problem is I'm a MA resident so I'm not eligible for the contest image If one of you CA folks want to submit it just for grins, let me know.
    There are some real funny designs at that Farkin link.

    WWT, didn't you read the part about avoiding controversy?! You can't be serious about that design! PETA would be all over it for its depiction of the enslavement of animals. NOW would despise it for showing a man.

    About the only thing inoffensive enough would be a block of tofu.

    I like the breasts idea.

    Not to mention all the controversy it would cause because it shows a white man! And this white man is standing, unaided, on his own two feet? Why aren't people with disabilities depicted on this coin? This design will definitely not do! image

  • How 'bout the Los Angeles skyline, obscured by a huge smog cloud?

    I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so hard on California, I miss living there. Sometimes I miss it so much, I fill my humidifier with urine...
