COIN DESIGNS CELEBRATING FREEDOM

I have a hefty supply of email and realized this week that I hadn't published this note from Wayne Pearson on ideas for coin designs celebrating Freedom. Sorry for the delay - happy 10th of July, everyone. -Editor

Delaware coin design After 246 years, are we a free people? Does the constitution still have meaning?

If our coins were to represent us here are a couple of concepts that might be on them. First up are two half dollars, using a smaller, heptagon shape, so vending machines can accept them, showing our liberty to vote. This design is based on a pattern design for a Delaware state quarter.

Next is a dollar coin idea based on the Libertas Americana design and one of the drawings.
