I think a multi coin issue depicting the Beatles would be a huge success for the U.S. Mint .

On second thought...

Didn't the Braille commem honor a Frenchman?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
<< <i>Pop crap has practically killed stamps --- I'll go before Congress to oppose ANY pop stuff on our coinage. >>
What killed stamps is not, as you so diplomatically stated, "pop crap," but an overproduction of just about any stamp that has come out, even before "pop crap."
It's time for the Mint to get over the draconian mentality so abundant in the last 50 years, and join the rest of the world by producing coins with a 21st Century Mentality & not the Dinosaurian, recycled same old boring 18th or 19th Century crap.

I'll bring the pitchfork.

Do we aspire to mediocrity or excellence?
US Commemorative coins should honor significant events and people in the nation's history. If you want "pop crap" there are plenty of mints making it and their "coins" are available in all sorts of metals and colorings.
<< <i>"Pop Crap" is "Pop Crap." I love the Beatles' music, but it does not belong on our coinage any more than Disney characters, or Budweiser frogs, or Elvis' toenails, or Victoria's Secret models.

Now you've gone to far .... I agree with your above except for: Vicotria's Secrect models. I'll take their models on our coins over the SBA in a heart beat.

One of the most significant events in modern times was the Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show , and those 4 "people" changed the world

Only if they can make George's guitar light up and Ringo spin with his drum kit on a riser.
No Chinese batteries.

Anthony Wiener would look great on a gold coin, but Joe Coc-ker would have a better ring to it.
<< <i>The problem with these issues is the skill of the engravers is severely lacking. The above medal of John looks more (at first glance) like Dustin Hoffman. Where's Daniel? >>
you may have hit on something here ; imagine if D.Carr did mint a set of Beatles coins , with his skills of a Master die maker and limited mintage's - the demand would
be huge and the feller could make a ton of money !

Does this mean I get one?
it means they have your money , and will draw interest on it for a few weeks and then return your cash after they determine you were not one of the lucky 5000.
I never will forget how I tied up over 5 grand for those GSA silver dollars for a few months and never got a single silver dollar , got my money back was all
