Here’s my attempt at doing the whole educational notes series. The $1 and $2 were super easy to work with, but the $5 was real hard to work with because it’s so busy and complicated of a design and I don’t really like how it came out but instead consider it barely acceptable, but everything I could think of to try just made it worse
And here’s some outtakes of the $5 that I thought were interesting
Amazing thread Mr_Spud!
Paul Hollis should have you doing all the advertising work for the mint!
These would really connect with the next generation of collectors.

Thanks for the compliment, but it’s Steven59’s thread. His original post that started the thread where he transformed Liberty on the 2026 dimes into a living person came out so perfect that I had to try it out too. Monkey see, monkey do. It’s so satisfying to do this kind of editing that now I can’t stop.

You are correct, ChatGPT thought it was a dude. But Gemini/Nanobanana thought it was a lady.
I used this prompt for both of them “ Transform the person on this coin into a living person posing the same way and with the same things on their head” and this was what came out of each with no further prompting
First here’s the image I uploaded
And this was what ChatGPC made
And this was what Gemini/Nanobanana made
With further prompting I’m sure I can do better with either AI, but I thought it was interesting to compare them like this

Now it’s getting closer, I had Gemini redo the cap with Nano Banana Pro. I also had it add the red stripes to the dress to make it a flag, but I kinda like this version better so I stuck with the off white dress
Mrs_Spud has Riverdance playing on YouTube at the moment, so…

That's great - I thought you would have her fall off the cliff like that game on the Price is right

Now you have to make a picture combining the 2 - Like the Queen holding the bear in front of a castle.

And here’s an experimental one I just made using Deevid AI after hearing about it on the morning news, Disney is trying to block their parent company from being able to pull from their content. It’s supposed to be hyper realistic. It only let me try it for free for just one video. I don’t really think it’s much more realistic than the ones above that I’m able to access already on my Pixelcut app though so I don’t think I will purchase it. I resisted the temptation to have it include Mickey Mouse walking around on deck 🙃
This dollar came out simplified and smaller... and the Meta AI does not understand letters as meaning anything, just random designs- like the signatures, just squiggly designs.

Wow! That is great!!!!!!!!

I visited the Andy Warhol museum today, they were displaying an exhibit called “The ladies of Liberty and Coin Art” 😉
Mr_Spud
Then I made a stop at the Salvador Dali museum… 😉
Mr_Spud
At this point I might as well throw in a Michelangelo and a Leonardo Da Vinci 🌝

Oops, that wasn’t a microdose 🙃
I better take a break for a while, I’m running out of free credits and have to wait until they recharge for free

How about a Lincoln Cent? Not the shield variety. It'd be fun to see how AI would handle Abe on the reverse.
I still can’t ever get Liberty’s Phrygian cap to look right, but the rest was very easy 🤔

Awesome 👏
Mr_Spud
These AI pictures are so interesting and just beautiful.
Outstanding work to you.
Oh, it's a foot? I just thought she got really scared when the eagle grabbed her -

Nice Avatar too!
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Very good...but like the third foot earlier, what are those extra letters? In God We Ua Trust.
How about this one?

I think Eunice Kennedy Shriver would have approved. 😃
I also think you need to drop a hint to ChatGPT that it's really Abe Vigoda in a wig.

I asked AI to reimagine our American Coins...the images look pretty good, but the lettering comes out as gibberish.

Where's IKE?
That's the one everyone's been waiting for!
I'll give Ike a go!
