...what would the series look like?
Maybe you never thought of this before, or maybe you liked a coin, but there was something about the design you could improve. Maybe you have a strong liking to a particular nation or you feel that a particular nation needs to issue a new series, like US, Korean, Swiss, or Japanese coins.
Some five things about your series:
1. Country of issue (existing or made up)
2. Monarch, leader, or none
3. Composition of each coin (metal and size)
4. Years in circulation
5. What coin(s) inspired your design, if any
If you want to be really creative, put up some drawings of your coin series. I'll put up some of my design ideas on a reply post this week.
I'm really curious and excited to see what bright ideas you guys have!
If you could design a coin series...

I would probably just strike the colonial periods coins in high releif especially the gothic florin

Hard to say for me. Considering how many different series of Canadian quarters there was in recent history (and I have all of them) it's hard to come up with something interesting.
There is also another (still running) series of Latvian 1 Lats coins started in 2001. Most of them are nice but some are just so-so. Pairing them though can be so much fun. How about this with that?
This one and this one are pretty lame though.

I can see Canada using this design for a commemorative once they run out of ideas.
Seriously, though I would do a collage coin with a bit of free advertising...
I wouldn't necessarily use those coins they were just the ones I had pictures of.

Now, all of you listen up. Please don't copy this, took me 2 days... (yes, I'm a nube at Photoshop...) but I still had to make all the effects nice...
It is a *pattern* 5 dollar piece that 1965 could have produced for circulation
(all ideas are by me. image design by me)
effects, photoshopping are by PSE 9
images courtesy of Google images, Royal Mint Australia, RCM, Ebay users.

ye, no time to do the head today, but the reverse is nicely done! :D
every letter in Republique Francaise had to be cut and pasted individually because of dumb photoshop's regs... so... enjoy 2 and a half+ hours of work! (yes, I'm a noob at photoshop...)
this was actually really fun...

Country: Vatican / more like Capital city of the whole planet, no more Papal mumbo jumbo going on there.
Leader: Doctor Who
Composition: aerogel (http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/photo/aerogel.html)
The name would be Serenity
I imagine this as a global type of coin, probably somewhere in 19200, where people finally realized that we have only a tiny planet and it is completely pointless to draw borders and kill each other just because the other is looking a bit different/believes in some different magical man in the sky or anything like that, but every former country can make it's own design between some "borders". Like the Euros these days, every country has it's own design but it is good across Europe. Vatican would be the headquarters of the planet Earth, there would reside the planet's global leadership,supervised by a Moya-like Leviathan ship from the sky.
Unfortunately with this imminent threat from the end of the world this can be classified as a complete Utopia
Btw...anybody has experienced the end of the world yet? In Japan is 21st already if I am right

If you don't understand it properly, i wanted to represent the Freedom with the 1/2; 1/4 and 1 Centavo coins; the Navy and the Sea with the 5Cts. coin; the Democracy with the 10Cts.; the Argentinian Flora and Fauna with the 25 Cts. and the Argentinian Architecture with the 50 Cts. coin. The 1 Peso coin shows the Monument to the Argentinian Flag and José de San Martín, Father of the Motherland. The 2 Pesos shows the Argentinian flag and an allegory of the Republic.

They seriously look legit, as if you worked for the mint and you were a designer. You should submit these if they plan to demonitize the peso they're using today.

Thank you very much! In fact, I went once to the Central Bank and submitted a design (without the existence of a contest or something like that). But they rejected it because coin designs are "exclusive for the employees of the Bank and the Argentinian Mint".
They don't let you progress
Haha however, I do see myself as a "coin designer"
Thank you, again!

Besides there's no such thing as metal clay here, the closest thing I could get is mud clay
I hope someday I can mint them

I would like to see a commemorative set on famous cars
One side the face of the car designer and the car they are known best for designing.
This one could be a Dollar coin in the US. I know its kinda plain but I don't have photo shop.
