    Nowhere near as bad as those from the Liberian Mint. The various $5 Diana coins are horrid.

    Our country, our United States Mint, is in a race to the superlative with other coin and medal designers.

    That Alderney design the "updated identity" Royal Mint is hawking is no prize....

    That seems pretty typical of the quality of designs nowadays. No wonder they call it "modern crap."

    She looks like the grim reaper in that one.

    Speaking of horrendous designs on modern crap, for the first time in several years I looked at the actual designs of current U.S. coinage... Oh my GOD! What the feck have they done to the engravings of Lincoln, Washington, and Kennedy? The redesigns make the figures look like caricatures! The garish hair details are just abominable.

    It's change simply for change's sake. And in these cases it is NOT for the better... the new designs are absolutely hideous!
