suggestions for a commemorative coin

This year the federal reserve bank celebrates 100 years of debasing our currency. I think this deserves a commemorative platinum coin from the US Mint. What should both sides of the coin depict?

On the obverse should be an American worker thus representing the economic might of this great country. The reverse should depict the vast(unmatched) natural resources this country has.

I'd like to see the mint put out a straight-faced, well -designed, classically-inspired silver dollar.

And I want it to be made out of the standard US silver dollar composition: 90% silver, 10% copper.

And I'd like it to contain a dollar's worth of silver at the time of minting. So roughly 1 gram as I type.

No it would have to be smaller than a half-dime.

It would be the size of a gold dollar


I wouldn't hold my breath for any activist coin striking by the mint

How about Lady Liberty in a tinfoil hat on the obverse, and Chicken Little on the reverse?

A woman hanging out the window of her apartment, hollering "it's my money, and I want it NOW!" on one side,

and an image of Hank Paulson on the other looking freaked out, asking for another trillion or the world will come to and end (for bankers).


I still marvel at the fact that our colored paper money now looks very reminiscent of the Monopoly Money that I played with as a kid. I'm sure it's not subliminal messaging or anything like that.
