New US Dollar Coins

[da]

The US mint has designs for 4 new one-dollar coins. The good news: They're really funny, as mocked by theferrett.

The bad news: the mint should've spent a bit more for their designs. :(

Thanks to boutell for the heads-up.

I knew they were doing this, but I hadn't seen the actual images, except for the Liberty on the other side.

The Madison is especially awful. His cheeks!

I can't believe how incredibly awful those are.

How can a country as great as Those* United States of America not be able to make a decent dollar coin? Is their mint asleep?

Washington's eyes creep me out. Adams does look like an puffy effeminate man. Jefferson isn't so bad, but he *does* look smug. Madison is melting, and two-thirds of his mustache looks like plastic.

*: That doesn't sound right, but These isn't accurate, so...

I almost didn't believe that those were the real images, but they're here, which is pretty hard to argue is fake.
