Okay, since some wanted another design that was a bit less controversial than my revolutionary Ron Paul/Vive la constitucion design, I came up with the following:

Some slogans that might go well with it:

"It's value cannot be compromised"

"An investment the Founders would be proud of"

"Undeflatable Principles"

"An investment for the future"

Too bright- turn the white into a very light gray, which will still look white but cut down a lot on the glare.

Nice. A one ounce silver round would be excellent too. With silver just $12 an ounce many more could be circulated.

All right- I've made this into a tshirt. I'm setting the price at $8 although it might fluctuate if you buy an organic version or get an XXL. I don't really have control over any of that - it's all through goodstorm.

We just had some some silver coins made at the site I admin... The dies to make them cost $1750.00 and Silver is about 13 and we have to pay a buck above that to order them and have them make them..

They will end up costing us about 15 a troy oz and one of our users plans to send Ron Paul one of each. We have a Liberty coin and a Bull with Abolish the Fed

You can see them on the link below!

I think someone poured a can of planters in your head we you were not looking :D

I like it... But to each their own.

Pfft. I'm not a truther, and I don't think RP will get assassinated, and then I make a comment about silver and I'm nuts. :rolleyes:

Silver has too much of a 'silver tongue', slick politician conotation. Anybody else feel that way, or just my nutty self?

Putting images of people on currency smacks of monarchism and should be avoided. We fought a revolution about such things. This was the traditional understanding of our Republic until this century. Bring back Walking Liberty! Maybe with Carol Paul's face?

You made a good point...partly the appeal is the coins to draw attention to the idea of sound money and the campaign, not as new currency.

If your thinking about mottos, my favorite is printed on the 1792 Disme
"Liberty, Parent of Science and Industry".

A bit of a history lesson for those interested:

And one more silly one...

"It's worth its weight"

OK, not the best, but I'll keep working at it :D

Well, this is interesting.

I submitted both images separately to Reddit to see what others thought. I suppose not *too* surprisingly, both were fairly controversial getting a number of up *and* down votes. But what is surprising in light of how the Ron Paul/Vive la constitucion design got a lot of sour reviews on this forum, it actually faired considerably better on reddit than the Ron Paul/Gold Coin design. See for yourself:

Ron Paul/Vive la constitucion - 10 up and 9 down (http://reddit.com/info/1vuur/details)
Ron Paul/Gold Coin design - 6 up and 15 down (http://reddit.com/info/1x80u/details)
