The US Government wants You…that is you artists and designers
The US Mint is inviting all artists to participate in “a renaissance of American coin and medal design.”
…professional artists (Master Designers) and college and graduate-level art students (Associate Designers) in sculpture, engraving, graphic design, drawing and other visual arts, who will be invited to create and submit new designs for selected coin and medal programs throughout the year.
I think it would be awesome to design coins and money, there is so much detail and precision required that make a coin. The changes that have been made to the quarter in the last few years have given our money a new aticipated look. Every time I get a quarter I look to see if it is one of the new designs released. Even the new twenty dollar bills got me excited with their new design. The US government is finally catching up to the rest of the world in coin design, it should be exciting to see.
