I came across this website today and thought others might be interested. Glenna Goodacre's web site
Here is a quote from the site:
<< <i>Q: Let's talk about the new dollar coin issued by the U.S. Mint. In your rendering of Sacagawea, the Native American interpreter who was with Lewis and Clark, why did you choose the three-quarter profile, which is the most difficult view to sculpt, especially in low relief? >>
<< <i>A: Actually, they chose the design. I submitted seven different designs of Sacagawea for the coin and a committee decided which one they wanted to use. I was happy about their choice because there has never been a three-quarter portrait on any U.S. coin. All the others have been profiles. This is the first circulating coin to have a woman with a baby on it, and I was fortunate to actually sculpt my final design before it was reduced for the dies. Also, there has never been a U.S. circulating coin designed by a woman. >>
