I really like the dollar design. The other two... meh.

It'll be interesting how the engraving for the silhouette individuals will be done. One of those things that could likely make the coin look more chintzy if not done right.

One thing I wish the designers would stop doing is putting a dollar sign on coins. Spell out the value. The dollar sign makes the coin look like a casino token. What’s next, putting the cent sign on cents through halves?

Funny you should mention that. Noticed one of these in my change a few weeks ago that made me do a double-take.
