Hot Springs Quarter Launches 4/19 -- design reminds one more of a ... [porcelain] ...

URINAL for clarification

OK - I love the concept of the new America the Beaut coins, but the first one is ... not.

No offense to anyone, but am I the only one who thinks this design looks more like a very nice urinal?

Clarification: Hot Springs National Park is not your "usual" park -- it is more of a historical park.

If anyone is attending, please update the forums on WHAT kind of products are available. Such as Park Service packaging and/or the 5 oz's bullion coins.

Ah.. the Royal P*ss Pot...

I will never be able to look at that quarter without thinking of that ....Cheers, RickO

The actual fountain being depicted isn't much nicer looking than a urinal (and maybe it's worse):

A fellow had had a seizure & drove his pick-up truck up a few steps & into it a few years ago.

Hard to make that fountain come off without colors. Those choosing the design might have considered that. --Jerry

Not my choice either ---

I was thinking it looked more like a rather upscale bidet of the sort one would only see in excessively opulent homes -- Longacre's perhaps.

That fountain looks like a churro or whatever it is they call those things that were on two of the quarters from last year.

Maybe they should have added FDR to give it more historical meaning.

Lame start to what is going to be a lot of lame quarters. Forcing one from every state results in some crappy "parks". I never even heard of the one from Connecticut (some old farm). Kind of pales in comparison to Yellowstone and Yosemite.

The ceremony is next Tuesday. I'm going to try to make it there. I guess it'll be interesting.

Anyone else going?

Please send a report if attended.

A reverse based on this photo would have been more artistically interesting

Looks like the lower half of Homer Simpson taking a leak.

OK -- after seeing "real deal" by Smokin', I have to admit they do look better as coins than the sketched release.

I will recall the "urinal" look, but I do agree it looks a bit like Homer Simpson's backside (or front -- sans equipt).
