NASA lands on a distant planet and finds ancient ruins with coins showing martians on them. It's a big universe, there might be some very darkside coins out there.

She has a husband---Todd Palin.

Designs based on the newly discovered and unearthed concept molds secretly designed by Augustus Saint Gaudens for the rest of American coinage, from the cent through the $100 Union, with the $2.5, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 respectively being used on modern 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 oz. gold, and 1/2 and 1 oz. platinum eagles, while the one cent through one dollar are used on our modern coinage, with original size and relief preserved. That's my daydream. (The 1/2 oz. and 1 oz. gold Eagles would be based on the flat rim $10 and UHR $20, the latter of which resembling the 2009 UHR limited run, except with a more matte finish that doesn't obscure details, and without "In God We Trust," as Teddy Roosevelt and Augustus Saint-Gaudens originally intended. (Some of us Americans--love us or hate us--are Pagans, and others may share Roosevelt's sentiment that God's name on money is crass.)
As for the 1964 Peace Dollar--the surviving ones are safely stored away in Warehouse 13. The team managed to switch out the one 1933 "legal to own" one with a restrike, so they can put it with the others.

When I look at the coin, it would still be a coin but it would show what is in my minds eye at the time. Now THAT would be a cool coin! Too out there for ya? Hey, you asked.
To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.
I know I already put forth the idea for this coin earlier in the thread. But it is a quiet Saturday morning here, and nothing more do I like than to play with the coins on an early weekend morning. I saw that this thread came back to the top and thought I would add some visual spice to it.

A little coin comes to light.....unknown until now. Dies had been sent south, but never used.
Wrapped up in a letter from the coiner of the New Orleans Mint.....an 1861 O gold dollar, untouched, unmarked and unblemished............................................................................. and a handwritten script says "Only One Made".
The mint struck some Half Union $50 gold coin patterns. A Union $100 gold coin would be really neat---almost 5 oz of gold and five times the weight of a double eagle.

A Confederate gold coin other than those struck with Federal dies would be really neat.

OK, so make it a 55-S.

A nice looking modern coin with Liberty on it instead of a dead President!
