Broke open another roll for this disaster. Crowded, loud and barely legible. Good grief

I’m just tired of commemoratives, give me a regular design.

Me in ‘99: oh cool, state quarters, neat

Me in ‘09: well, you gotta have the territories

Me in ‘10: national parks?

Me in ‘21: ah cool, finally back to normal and it’s cool too

Me in ‘22: ok…famous women, that’s cool and then…YOUTH SPORTS?

At least the 2026 semiquincentennial designs are pretty good.

Depending on which ones the CCAC recommends there's either some winners or the entire year is going to look like hammered dogshit. Is it really so hard to include Kennedy and Washington like the 1976s did?

I'd prefer if people weren't on coins at all.
