"government is not reason, it is not eloquence-it is a force! like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." George Washington

    Interesting.. but I do not agree with the maxim. Cheers, RickO
  • Well, they finally put the word Peace on the golden dollar! That concept was bandied about during the initial ideas when both Ron Landis and Daniel Carr became finalists in the small dollar redesign competition.
    The designer of the 2010 reverse, Thomas Cleveland, comes from the Houston area and spoke at our club one time. He had previously designed the Houston Metro bus token, which was very nice.
    Then there is the whole conspiracy theory about how the US Constitution was based on (or stolen from) the Iroquois Confederacy.
    Landis design, followed by Carr design (c. turn of the millenium):

    Not too bad but not as good as the original obverse. They just shouldn't have messed with a good thing.
