    Quite a highfalutin' word, ain't it? About as funny sounding as "sesquicentennial" was.

    Agree. Why not "Quarter-Millennium"?

    Comedy is especially welcomed this time of the year.

    It is in the authorizing legislation. More importantly, let's turn to thinking of some memorable designs as the United States celebrates it 250th anniversary.

    Happy holidays to all.

    Designs seem fairly easy if you stick to traditional Independence era themes.

    Liberty Bell
    Declaration of Independence
    Independence Hall
    Battle of Trenton
    Lexington
    Minute Men
    Yorktown
    Saratoga
    Washington
    Jefferson
    Franklin
    Lafayette
    von Steuben
    Hamilton
    Adams
    Jay
    Madison

    Ok as some previous posters have said
    Older designs. I think at least one coin should have the exact design of our first coin.
    Get rid of the dead presidents on the coins. Liberty designs are a must.
    No PC coins that cater to a minority. (We all are equal and untill the dividing stops we will not heal)

    Maybe coins with a theme of the bill of rights

    One for each branch of government

    Just a quick couple of thoughts

    I ran across this artwork while reading a book on Great Britain recently. The "Oracle" a print made in 1774 by an Irishman John Dixon. The three ladies on the left represent Wales, England, and Scotland blissfully considering the bright future of America as their colony. The figure on right represents America herself with an unknown expression looking at that future.

    https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/849803

    I don't know if it would be appropriate for a coin, but I think it is a very insightful and historical piece of artwork that really captures the American Revolution from a different perspective.

    There is also a related print "The Tea Tax Tempest" that changes up the setup somewhat.

    The problem is most of the themes in @Manifest_Destiny 's post have been done and recently and/or have baggage (history is complicated).

    We need new themes or new twists on older ones...

    I want the women we had on our coins in the past. Put no one with a name.

    I found an image of the Dime. I have to ask: WTF happened?

    I like the 2026 dime, but not the 5 different quarters. The classical designs from the 1800's and early 1900's would have been much better. Also there should have been a circulating half dollar for 2026.

    The one year only circulating coin design ⇈...

    Some like it , and some do not.

    I find it refreshing. Just me.

    I don't hate it. The mintmark is huge!

    Miss Liberty reminds me of a 70s/80s actress (from a sitcom maybe) but cannot place which one . . . . .

    Laverne and Shirley? Liberty looks like Shirley to me.

    I asked AI to make Liberty look even more like Shirley, but it got confused and made Liberty look like Laverne 🙃

    Awesome! I'm stealing that for the look alike thread unless you want to post it yourself.
