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.

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.
Check out the article elsewhere in this issue on the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
